Matt_UK Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, Happened to be watching the snooker the other day...and heard an awesome funky riff! (I know! Funk and snooker!) Anyway, I just can't work out what it is (have tried Soundhound and Shazam on my phone but to no avail) Its at around 1hr, 30 mins into this iplayer vid (after Hazel stops talking!): [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01h74ln/Snooker_World_Championship_2012_Day_8_Part_2/"]http://www.bbc.co.uk...2_Day_8_Part_2/[/url] Any suggestions welcome! Thanks, Matt Edited April 30, 2012 by Matt_UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Sorry Matt, can't answer your question but Snooker and Funk - Steve Davis is one of the UK's best know Jazz-Funk fans - was much derided for it back in the day!!

paulconnolly Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Steve Davis also likes prog and classic rock. Go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_UK Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I no longer have any idea where this thread is going... Funky grooves though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sorry, Matt. I wasn't hijacking yout thread per se but the tunes I posted were all used as theme music to the Friday Rock Show on Radio 1 in the 1980s and 1990s and many who post here will know them, even if they don't know they know them. I have to say that my love of Jazz probably began with the fact that I found, during that period, I was liking film and tv themes more that the pop music of the day. I followed these tunes up in the way you have with the Snooker tune and found my way into intrumental fusion and jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think it's just a jam that some sesh musicians was having. Pretty funky, but not a scoob what it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
