I saw them last year in Brighton - small gig on the seafront. They were great - actually they were amazing

They re-issued their albums a couple of years back, really nicely packaged.

I'd never heard them all properly (only previously had a compilation as the albums were out of print).

Snapped them all up, really love them. Hard to believe they came from Scotland - to my ears they were (are) one seriously hot soul/funk outfit. Fully intend to catch them next time around.

and people from Scotland cant play hot soul/funk??? Is that because we all wait to chase a passing haggis or wait for electricity to get here!!!

LOL!

I've just never heard any band from outside the US play that stuff like it should be played. In fact, I would rate AWB above many US acts of that genre.

They certainly nailed the funk, and totally had the soul as well.

BTW, let me know when you eventually get the electric on and I might pop back up!
