Sounds Like
Well, we think it's FONK......end of! But others have said the following:
KEVIN NIXON - BBC RADIO SOLENT - SOUTH LIVE
(On Safety Net) "The song was great, the lyrics were really interesting.....the guy's voice was full of character....The groove of the track was brilliant and the drummer was amazing......Outstanding...10/10."
EJECTOR SEAT ejectorseat.co.uk
"Don't believe a word they say. But believe me when I say I like what they do. Check them out, they are brilliant!"
THE WINCHESTER MASSIVE winchestermassive.co.uk
"A cross between The Dave Matthews Band and Hootie and The Blowfish with a distinctly British feel."
THE-MAG the-mag.me.uk
"Show-stealing drumming, syncopated saxophone and quick-draw guitars. Sounding like a calmed down version of The Piranhas, the best of the bunch for The Horse was Quicktip Roller."
MAKING OUR 2ND ALBUM - FONKUMENTARY - 21-23 MARCH 2008
ABOUT THE HORSE
The Horse was born when an odd twist of fate caused five very different musicians
to move into a converted stable block together. It didn't take long for the horse
spirit to captivate the un-suspecting guys with equine and somewhat paranormal
melodies. The dudes soon found ways to express all of their unique talents and
influences, creating a fresh and distinctive sound and providing the backdrop for
broad reaching and disarmingly honest songwriting.
This crazed and slightly ill-groomed Nag has been galloping across venues in
the south of England with it's unique blend of FONK* since 2005. Following the release of second LP 'Now Horse Vol.2’ it is now looking to hurdle
into pastures new. Dare you tether THE HORSE at your inn?
(*FONK= Folk Funk Roots Punk Ska)

As of 7th November I will be running a monthly Live Acoustic Music Night at The Old Market Inn, Winchester and I'm looking for good musicians to come and play! It's a fun night, and the audience is always really up for it and very appreciative :o) You can play for between 30 mins and 90 mins, depending on how you feel and I am able to pay a reasonable amount for your time. It's a great opportunity to showcase your talent in a new venue and both original material and covers are welcome. If you are interested please message me or respond to this comment:o)
