About Me

The Haggis Horns are an eight piece live funk extravaganza combining heavy breakbeat funk, soul, hip-hop and afrobeat with the virtuosity of trained jazz musicians. The members have performed and recorded with many top artists including: The Cinematic Orchestra, Lou Donaldson, Nightmares on wax, Roots Manuva, Mark Ronson, Stuart Zender (Jamiroqui's bassist), Corinne Bailey-Rae, Snowboy, Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Odyssey, Martina Topley-Bird, Lily Allen, Candie Payne, The New Mastersounds and Amy Winehouse. The Haggis horns are featured on the Legendary deep funk album "Keb Darge presents the New Mastersounds". The First Haggis Horns single "Hot Damn! feat John Mccallum", released on Leeds (UK) based First Word Records was immediately picked up by Mr Scruff and became Fat City Record's (Manchester) record of the week. Following his lead, many other top DJ's have been raving about the band and their debut album also titled "Hot Damn!"... It's sounds have been igniting the dance floors of the world's funk and soul Clubs......Be sure to pick up a copy of and you won't be disappointed! Look out for the Haggis Horns live and try to catch one of their Legendary shows....................................................... ............................... We are all devastated by the tragic loss of Jason Bruce Rae. His wit, intellect and talent have been an integral part and lit up the lives of all those lucky enough to have met him. In times as unforeseen and unbelievable as these our thoughts, love and actions are to help all the people who knew him, his family and his incredible wife Corinne. Thank you for all your support and kind wishes - we feel your love. We will keep everyone informed and make further announcements later. Thank you all
