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.

   About Funk Connection
What with holiday season approaching we have no gigs planned until September when we are doing a couple of Charidee gigs. We would tell you about them but we don't like to talk about it. More info may be forthcoming once the details are sorted.

We'd like to belatedly say farewell to the great Dougie 'Fingers' Watt - former Laird of Gourdon now Earl 'o' Turra -

Dougie felt that too much funk was unnatural and it was causing him to come over all unnecessary when in close proximity to the heifers near his new home.

We are delighted, however, to welcome Gillian Leiper, who, under the watchful eye of Stewarty, is filling Dougie's massive hole.

If you've ever thought to yourself; 'What is funk and why is it funky?', take a look at the funkiest man ever to wear a bacofoil cat suit.

Funk Connection are an amalgamation of funkateers from various bands across the North East of Scotland.

"The Afronauts", "The Pearsons", "Spoil the Dog", "Dougie's Bedroom" and "Kevin and Lisa at the Bankhead Inn"are the main sources of talent for this band.

The band's set includes classic songs from the likes of James Brown, Sister Sledge, Tower of Power, Edwin Starr, Kool and the Gang, The Jackson 5 and many more.
