With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
We were in the middle of re-branding and starting similar but new project.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
It has seriously limited the number of shows that we were planning on playing. No tour or album plans to speak of yet.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
We are all doing a lot of practicing, teaching students and parenting.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
The first place I had to go back was to my office to do some work, the first 'real' place I went out to recently was a much-needed visit to Ikea for blinds for my kids’ rooms.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
The Smalls, King Lettuce, Philosopher Kings. So many more but I've killed those brain cells and can't remember.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
The Funkford Family will return, hopefully sooner than later in either a live stream format from the comfort of your home or live and in person - at the Starlite Room! Stay Healthy. Stay Safe. May we Funk you?
