THE HAGGIS HORNS

Horn Section to the Stars...

The Haggis Horns
“The best f**king horn section in the world!”
Mark Ronson
Producer

The Haggis Horns – They have done countless featured sessions and tours.

 

They were part of Mark Ronson’s ’Version Players’ playing round the world including a Jay-Z support tour.

 

As part of Martha Reeves & the Vandellas they have played round Europe including supporting Brian Wilson and Ocean Colour Scene.

 

They were voted for by BBC6 listeners to be the horn section for ‘Craig Charles presents The Fantasy Funk Band’ and have been included on Compilations by Mr Scruff, The Nextmen & Crazy P.

 

The Haggis Horns have released five albums, two on First Word Records and three on their own label Haggis Records and plans for live and remix albums soon and a solo jazz project by Malcolm Strachan (The Haggis Horns / Jamiroquai).

“ The Haggis horns are my go-to brass section. Not only do they deliver every time but their ability to adapt and work remotely online has been incredible and very rewarding. I cannot recommend them enough 🙏 “

"I loved working with the profound Haggis Horns, our international connection would allow us to travel all over this World and thrill everybody everywhere with our love to show off how well we can create the MOTOWN SOUND. We belong together and their hearts were in every performance and situation my SOUL BROTHERS. MAGIC that made ME, Lois, and Delphine, my sisters, and our audiences DANCE our butts off, and sing BECAUSE we are rehearsed and trained and are excellent with class and dignity."

About Atholl…

Atholl Ransome
“The Haggis Horns did an incredible job on my album. It goes without saying that the horn lines they produced were brilliant; added to that, they were extremely professional, approachable and fun. I had the pleasure of working with them in the studio, but also remotely, which was an efficient and easy process. Highly recommended!”

About Rob…

Rob Mitchell
“Rough and tough, always. Precise, powerful, musical and always pulling something extra out of the box. Is it any surprise to see the huge list of major artists that they have played for, alongside their career as artists in their own right?”

"As a producer and fixer, The Haggis Horns have been my go to horn section since way back when. From touring with Odyssey in the 90’s, and countless studio sessions, through to a one off 40 piece show at York Barbican in 2022, and who knows what else in between, the guys have always delivered the goods, been easily contactable, are professionally reliable, and above all they nail the gig! They’re also great fun to have onboard!"

"I was signed in the past, we got a horn section in a really big fancy London studio ie “Metropolis Studios” with a talented named producer, no expense spared. it was really really good. *BUT* The Haggis Horns Remote Sessions blew that project out the water. They are incredible in every way.They played a large genre of diverse styles and every single time the tracks got more EPIC, but never over played ie just right. They give you crescendos you didn’t know you needed. Stabs and hooks that take the track to the next level, that also gel the track together and give it the glue that’s needed, at the same time as holding back to give you an extraordinary vibe.In short. Can’t wait to write ten more just to work with them again."
