The Haggis Horns - The Traveller ( Pt2)

The Haggis Horns are one of the funkiest live bands you will ever see; a brass heavy funk powerhouse that has been rocking clubs up and down the country for years, combining breakbeat funk, soul, hip-hop and afrobeat with the virtuosity of trained jazz musicians. The members have performed and recorded with many top artists. As well as their recent work with Mark Ronson (lending their lungs to perform live the Dap Kings studio role!) The band can be seen in the video for single 'Valerie' and have supported Mark on live dates and TV appearances, the members have performed and recorded with many top artists including, Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams, Jamiroqui, Duran Duran, Corinne Bailey-Rae, Adele, Lou Donaldson, Nightmares on Wax, Roots Manuva, Lily Allen, KT Tunstall, Snowboy, Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Martina Topley-Bird, Stuart Zender, Estelle and The Cinematic Orchestra. The Haggis Horns are featured on the Legendary deep funk album "Keb Darge presents the New Mastersounds".

Based around the nucleus of Malcolm Strachan (Trumpet) & Atholl Ransome (Tenor Sax, Flute) The Haggis Horns (yes, they're from Scotland) extend to an eight-piece live outfit, with guitarist Ben Barker also taking a production role in their recorded output. Debut 7" 'Hot Damn!' was released in November 2006, followed by 12" 'The Traveller pt.s 1 & 2' to widespread acclaim winning even more fans over to their distinctive Northern funk sound. The Haggis Horns returned with two more funk-fuelled bombs for the summer. After the success of their debut singles the boys were super-busy touring with Mark Ronson, but they found time to hit the studio with some spellbinding results. 'Got To Lose Your Way' is a ridiculously funky vocal cut featuring the dulcet tones of John McCallum, while the flip rocks to their brilliant take on Kool & The Gangs classic 'Whos Gonna Take The Weight' Together the two make a heavy combination: Haggis Horns got it goin on!

Imagine if music like this (talented musicians playing great music) went mainstream, and kids were inspired to actually learn how to play instruments again. That would be a beautiful thing.
