Fantasy Funk Band on BBC6 i-Player

[molan]

I'm a regular listener to Craig Charles' Trunk of Funk every Saturday evening on BBC Radio 6 (or on repeat play via i-Player).

Last night's show featured the Fantasy Funk Band as voted for by the show listeners:

Male Vocal-John Turrell

Female Vocal-Dionne Charles

Guitar-Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds)

Keyboards-James Taylor

Drums-Mike Bandoni (Funkshone)

Horns-The Haggis Horns

Bass-Ernie McKone

Plus a 'bonus' appearance from Snowboy on percussion

I didn't hear all of it last night but much of what I did hear was really good - I love the Haggis Horns and they were brilliant on Move On Up.

There's a vid of some of the songs here [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/funk_soul/"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/funk_soul/[/url]

if you just want to hear the horns doing their stuff then zap through to about 11 minutes or so and enjoy

I got the Haggis Horns 'Hot Damn!' the other day and it is truly awesome.

Loving the enter the dragon theme rendition as track 1...Enter the Haggis.

Nice to see Ernie McKone getting some recognition, he never gets a mention in this 'ere forum and he grooves HARD.
