Hey, Colin. Cheers for getin back again!!! Yeh, i see wot ur sayin about being specific. I think your suggestions sound good for the brass players for the funk band. Ewan's gona make an ad for the uni but if u cld recommend any players, please do so. And for the wedding band, yes this is where we are looking for keys. again, if any, holler!!!! It would be cool if you could ome along to just to one of our practices, for a wee jam but also to give you a better idea of the music and just to have a general chat with yourself coz u seem like a good contact to have!!! Influences on the funk include: Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, Sweatband, Quasar, James Brown - with his horns of course, u know, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker etc. I'm open to all music and I mean anything. Love Jamiroquai aswell along with loads of other funk. Like I say, anything goes - Rock, Blues, Soul, Latin, Metal, Pop, Alternative - ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! But as this is a funk band, well better keep it funky!! That's y i got the wedding band too - I love playing a variety of music. Anyway, I''ll shuh up! Gees a shout bk if and wen u can. Cheers Kris
