A CADDY FOR DADDY - 8 piece function/soul/jazz
|
|
|
Playing all your dance-floor favourites from disco and funk to soul and sounds of the '60s, this slick 8-piece party band will get everyone dancing - soulful vocals, irresistible horns and a kicking rhythm section will bring out the John Travolta in you! The band can also strip down to a quartet to play a sophisticated early evening dinner jazz and bossa nova set, providing the perfect soundtrack to an early evening champagne reception.
A Caddy For Daddy boasts some of the UK's most experienced soul and jazz musicians including Joanna Forbes (lead singer with the Swingle Singers, and featured vocalist on the latest Star Wars soundtrack), Dan Hewson (keyboardist and string arranger for Groove Armada) and saxophonist Dom Franks (Jocelyn Brown, Alison Limerick). "This is the ultimate party band"
Ian Muirhead, CEO of SIFA and the SFC Group"What a fantastic evening and what a wonderful Band. When I shut my eyes, it sounded like twelve at least playing!"

Thomas Fraser of Burra Isle, Shetland, passed away in 1978 aged only 50. A fisherman, a crofter - ordinary you might say - yet he left a stunning legacy: 1000s of songs recorded at home in his small croft house using a reel-to-reel recorder. Not music traditionally associated with Shetland entirely, for Thomas was an exponent of country and blues styles and his passion was the guitar.
