In Anticipation of their long-awaited third album "What Comes To MInd" scheduled to drop in the fall, UK's premier funkateers The Haggis Horns present "Return of the Haggis EP", a 12" taster of what to expect on the new full length album with 3 tracks of funk, soul & boogie goodness! Release date - 31st July 2015

Leeds-based instrumental outfit The Haggis Horns first hit the music scene in 1999 and rose to prominence through their part in the seminal Keb Darge presents The New Mastersounds album on BBE Records. They have since recorded and performed with artists such as Jamiroquai, John Legend, Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, Lou Donaldson, Martha Reeves, The Cinematic Orchestra, Morcheeba, Roots Manuva, Lily Allen, Finley Quaye and Nightmares On Wax, to name a few. Mark Ronson called the band "the best horn section in the world" and was so impressed he recuited them for his TV appearances and tours. With over a decade of activity, 2 full-length albums released on independent UK label First Word Records, variuos sold-out singles and countless worldwide gigs under their belt, The Haggis Horns have steadily gained a loyal following among soul boys, jazz brothers, funk sisters and break dancers alike.

"Return Of The Haggis EP" contains two brand new tunes from the upcoming album plus a previously unreleased remix. Side-A "I Can't Stop The Feeling" sees soulstress Lucinda Slim wax lyrical over a boogie-funk disco inspired groove. Side-B "Return Of The Haggis" is an uptempo funk instrumental with a contagious rhythm in The Haggis Horns' unmistakable style with Snowboy guesting on congas. Both tracks enlist Pete Shand from The New Mastersounds on bass. The final song on the EP is a remix of the band's very first single "Hot Damn!" featuring the powerful vocals of singer John McCalllum. This new version adds some boogie/disco spice to the original's funk flavour and is exclusive to this 12". With DJ support from Craig Charles (BBC6), DJ Lubi Jovanovic, keb Darge, "Return Of The Haggis" appears set to confirm The Haggis Horns are one of the stalwarts of the funk renaissance.



Craig Charles (BBC6) - "Blistering funk of the highest order"

Keb Darge - "Beautifully crafted, sounding like a lost Roy Ayers/Donald Byrd production, very nice"

DJ Lubi - "Hot funk, soul and boogie for the summertime! Fantastic!"

Simon Allen (The New Mastersounds) - This new Haggis Horns EP channels the uplifting disco-funk of Jamiroquai, Donald Bird, Roy Ayers, and The Average White Band. Listening in the sunshine will put a spring in your step, a glide in your stride and a smile on your face.

Snowboy - "World-class Funk from the real McCoy. Every track a future classic, and it's been an honour to contribute"

We release our fourth studio album in September 2017 and as a little teaser, we're dropping a summer single worldwide on June 9th via Haggis Records, a feel good bouncing hip-hop/funk jam featuring guest UK MC/rapper Doc Brown. Think back to the dawn of hip-hop in the early 1980s when the first rap singles featured the Sugarhill Records house band laying down heavy funk grooves for MCs like The Furious Five and Treacherous 3 and you get the flavour. No-nonsense party hip-hop/funk for b-boys, soul sisters and funk brothers! And keeping with that old school flavour, it will come with a limited edition 7" vinyl pressing alongside the digital single and feature an instrumental version on the b-side.

UK funk/soul dons The Haggis Horns release the second single from their forthcoming fourth album One Of These Days, out on Haggis Records at the start of November. World Gone Crazy is a timely title for these difficult times we are living in right now. A mid-tempo funk soul track with a nice 1970's Sisters Love feel, it features the sweet soul vocals of Lucinda Slim, the now standard super tight brass, a string section, a rocking guitar solo, all underpinned by a steady head nodding funk groove. Following on from the summer single release, the old skool block party hip-hop/funk jam Take It Back, World Gone Crazy showcases the other side of The Haggis Horns - music for listening not just for dancing. The new album has plenty of both styles.

This single is a digital only release and thus a shorter single edit and comes with great remixes from Lack Of Afro, Smoove (Smoove & Turrell) and Sam Redmore. The full length epic 8 minute extended version of the song will be on the LP/CD.

As their fourth album drops in November 2017, The Haggis Horns continue to be as popular as ever with more live gigs, festival appearances, interviews, international shows and recordings. Almost two decades on and still on top, like fine wine, they just get better with age.
