Karan Raitt I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits.
Lisa Paterson I wound up using the TC-Helicon VoicePrismPlus on three songs. One was a funk song and I wanted a Vocoder effect that lowered my voice an octave. It worked incredibly.
Dave McIntosh The message can be whatever pops into your head. The message is universal. Funk is a feel. It's a feeling. A situation.
Willie Milne Lydia Lunch is more energy. James Chance is more commercial in a different way, in funk and jazz. They were all doing original things, trying to create their own sound and music. I think they're all great.
Andy Davie If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.
Niall Scott But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.
Mike Ferrie I had this idea for a while to mix this Al Green vibe with a samba thing. I tried to do that in many different ways.
Gillian Leiper Most teachers waste their time by asking questions which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing.
Stewart Smith And I try and accept all kind of music, and I love ballads, funk, soul, jazz, even calypso music I enjoy sometimes.
Gareth Kerr But that kind of falls in line; when you think about it, James Brown was a funk minimalist. All of those parts create a sum that's larger than the individual parts.
Gerry Dawson He has a method that likens the musician to an athlete, so I do physical exercises designed to keep a musician in shape in order to perform the function, which is to play music.
