DAVID HOLMES Pnessrns THE FREE ' ASSOCIATION
David Holmes has packed into ten years what most would happily A stretch out for a lifetime. As a DJ, soundtrack scorer and producer, he has enjoyed success internationally and made friends in high places '* but staunchly refuses to rest on his sizable Iaurels. Now as daddy of a ten-piece live funk outfit he and his partners in painfully funky crime prove that there are a million ways to scramble a beat and a million ways to make a dancfloor shake, as their eponymous debut so deftl illustrates. (Mark Robertson) I The Free Association play QMU, Glasgow. Wed 4Dec.
