After three sell-out singles and a decade of gigging across the globe The Haggis
Horns finally release their debut album Hot Damn! The nucleus of the group,
Jason Rae (husband of Corinne Bailey Rae), Atholl Ransome and Malcolm Strachan
have become the horn section of choice for the worldÆs top artists. Currently on
tour as part of Mark RonsonÆs band, the horns can name Amy Winehouse, The New
Mastersounds, Lou Donaldson, Corinne Bailey Rae & Nightmares On Wax amoung the
selection of the artists that have called on them to lend their lungs to shows
or recordings. With guitarist Ben Barker taking on production duties and the
addition of some of the UKs finest jazz and funk musicians including Cinematic
Orchestra drummer Luke Flowers, the Haggis sound is at the forefront of the
burgeoning new funk scene. This album sums up everything about the band: at itÆs
core, hard-hitting dancefloor funk, (Hot Damn!/ The Bump), but also taking in
reggae (Eskimo), loose-limbed instrumental hip hop (Huffalump)and slamming
afrobeat (The Traveller / Tribe Vibes). Add in a couple of cover versions that
have been popular additions to the bandÆs legendary live shows (Enter The Haggis
/ WhoÆs Gonna Take The Weight?), and you have the funkiest sound this side of
The JBs. With fans including Gilles Peterson, Bill Curtis (Fatback Band),
Quantic, Mark Ronson, Mr.Scruff, The Nextmen and more, this is one of the yearÆs
essential funk releases.
