New Year's Resolution:

(Update the website!)

2006: welcome to what should be the beginnings of a funktastic year! Starting as we mean to go on, lets have a quick look back at the last few gigs:

The weekend of the 9th of December kicked off with an intimate Christmas doo, courtesy of Impact Arts (check out their site art lovers!). Many thanks to Mairi & Nicola for having us there and big Dave who supplied the sound - check out the pics below:

Junior Mosa gets all tribal on us.

The next night, Team Mosa headed back into town to visit one of our fave venues in the city - The Carnival Arts Centre - for their timely Chrimbo bash and a Birthday Party for the twins (thanks guys!). Marlyn was on hand to sing a special birthday tune and Cami freaked us all out (in a warm, squiggy way) - check out the pics below for further evidence p.s. due to a lack of concentration, DC was unable to take any pictures of the pole dancer who gave us quite a show prior to our show - believe me he's been crying into his Red Bull ever since - poor lamb! bless.

Cami reveals his inner demon - naughty boy (note the Chest Wig makes an appearance)

One of the Birthday twins fires into the Cake (Oi! How come we didn't get a slice!)

Behold - a pair of all round good egg (p.s. loved the sweets Rab!) - good to see you two gettin' righteous!

"Marlyn" & Crazylegs do the guys'n'dolls thang

Back on tour, we hit Studio 24 in the heart of Edinburgh on the Sunday night, joined by the ever-genial presence of Mr Kenny Breaks. For anyone thats not aware, its a top venue and we personally endorse it for putting on a good show, with great sound and fab lighting. Thanks again to Kenny & Maco for having us, Matt on sound, Duncan on the lights and the band of Merry Funksters who braved the foul weather to join the Mosa Jamboree:

Meanwhile, the following weekend...

After our triumphant support slot for Goldie Lookin' Chain in August, Team Mosa made a welcome return to the grand confides of The GUU for their annual Daft Friday Ball - supporting the Ms. Dynamite (pre-punch up) and MOR press favourites Kubb. Thanks again Sam for making it happen.

On the same night, we hit the final FunK! Room, in support of Crazy P. Again, camera failure prevents us from giving you pics, suffice to say, one of the gigs of the year by far - Arches we love you (thanks Joe).

Season's Greetings (a.k.a. Merry Funktmas)

Hi guys,
just a quick message from me, your good ol' webmaster, wishing to extend a hearty Merry Crimble & Happy Hog-man-yay! to all you good Mosa Peeps.

Its been a great year for us, particularly the few months with lots of exciting gigs and events throughout Scotland. We've met loads of good, funk lovin' people and got ourselves a bunch of new mates.

Hope to see you all around in the next year -

From all at the Club let us wish you love, peace and most of all:

remember to stay +ve.

We want (Oran) Mor(e)!

Westward Ho (see saw like)

December the 1st - 24 fun-filled days of ringing cash registers, empty wallets and drunken revellry till Christmas Day (phew!) - what better way to start the month than a boogie down in the intimate lower hall of Oran Mor? Not so much a Pie, Pint and a Play as a Fiesta, Fandango and a good Funk this time though! Props to the two bands who played with us: Washington Street and Bo Deadly. Washington Street played a mean funky set including a cracking version of "I Feel Good" - Bo Deadly brought a bit of raw rock'n'roll power to the night. Catch these two outfits while you can.

Return to Lush

Friday - the weekend started in Causieside Street, with a night that included a spot of impromptu table dancing, as the photos show below. Thanks to all the staff at Lush - Rab, the lovely Cheryl, Claire and Gary the DJ + everyone else in that night who made it happen:
