Ten funky tunes from The Haggis Horns

We’re delighted to have The Haggis Horns ringing in the new year with some blistering breakbeat funk at our New Year’s Eve Funk & Soul party! They’re over a decade as an outfit and are regarded as some of the very best in the business, currently touring with Detroit soulstress Martha Reeves and always in demand to record with popular music’s leading lights.

This week, they took the time to share ten audaciously groovy tracks with us for some pre-party listening. Check out their selections and comments below and pick up NYE tickets while you still can!
