Reviews..............."dirty funkage, along with rich percussion, slammin’ hammond playing, rinsing guitars and a groove that would make your nan get into proper crime.” - Scratch and Spin radio....................................
"TTP - they come with a government health-warning of guaranteed enjoyment, but they're not for your average festival - they're too good for that !” Roots Around The World......................................................................“Ticklin' The Pickle aka TTP give funk and soul a fresh and vibrant new edge. They combine their own exciting material seamlessly with innovative arrangements of rare funk and soul grooves.” Bugjam website................................................................."Ticklin' the Pickle? Oh, I get it, you guys are so sick, but if that's what it takes to play this good, may you never be cured! " Hammondbeat.com....................................................................................."Dirty", "Exciting", "Raw", and "Tight" are just some of the comments we've had from sweaty audiences in the past, other more profane quotes can't be published on the grounds of decency..................................................................................................

What's the score with the date at the Zee Bar? Are we going to see a big brass section, and will Danny be playing? Are you part of something else that night, as you were last time we saw you guys there?
Word up TTP. Gimme a shout if ya wanna old skool Hip Hop and Funk DJ to warm you up at any of your gigs. Would be happy to be of service. All vinyl, all real, all dirty. Peace.

Cheers,

Tim I miss your sweaty fingers working that hammond, Rowan I miss your head of hair sticking to your face as you swoosh it about on stage, Dave I miss your sweet nature and great talent and Danny keep belting out those drums and lyrics!
You guys rock and we both miss you all like crazy...
