Hello...hello..and good windy evening to you all! Are you still here? haven't blown away to the Artic ocean have we...jolly good then!

Okay then....It's Brassy funkeh choice noo....which is as follows:

'Funk me! Any song or band name with the word funk or any of its derivatives and misspellings (fonk, funky, etc) in it (doesn't have to be a funk tune, eg James Gang's Funk #49 is anything but. And as for Grand Funk Railroad …..)'

Easy peasy lemon squeezy..so let's be 'avin' them thank you, in the traditional order please..ta.

I was reading through me local paper today..and saw a big page spread promoting the pub-cum-hotel just literally 5 mins walk away from me. It's been on the market for 2 years for a cool mill...but finally it sold to a family who runs a resturant literally 5 mins walk away from this place! They've hired a new female chef...who's keen to showcase her gormet culinary skills. The promotion is of course for Valentine's day.....that load of old hoohah!

Just one problem though.....i've a sneaky feeling, it won't be packed out...in fact i'm not sure they'll get much custom at all. Ya see.....the family who bought it, run the local Chinese restuarant up the road! And they've not long come back from their native country.......so...would you eat there??!! Not being funny or nuffink..but this bug is pretty nasty ain't it? #Coronavirus 8-S

This is another incarnation of Pariament/Funkadelic. Same guys, just another band name change. Sorry about the sudden start and stop, but being George and the boys, it was just part of a continuous epic slice of funk played live, coming out of Maggot Brain and continuing into Atomic Dog and Flash Light.

I saw these do a hot, sweaty and above all funky gig in a long-defunct (pun intended) basement club called the Limit in Sheffield nigh on 40 years ago. I'm pretty sure I only saw one other band there; Son of a Bitch, shortly to be renamed ….. Saxon.
