The Love Grocer

Love Grocer is a musical collaboration centred around the songwriting duo of Chris Petter (trombone, keyboards & bass) and David Fulwood (trumpet & guitar) who, as the main players in the Crispy Horns brass section, have featured on a myriad of releases, working both live and in the studio with countless artists and producers over the past eight years. Recent credits include Mad Professor, Stereo MC's, Morcheeba, Steel Pulse, The Bluetones, Horace Andy, Zion Train and Dreadzone. Their involvement with the new roots/dub scene stretches back to the early 90s with Chris being a founder member of the legendary Conscious Sounds Stable playing with Centry and The Dub Specialists and Dave cutting his teeth with Zion Train and Tassilli Players. Seasoned session players Richard Doswell (alto sax & flute) and Jon Petter (tenor sax) complete the quartet with production and mixing duties shared by Dougie Wardop of Conscious Sounds Studios fame and the multi talented remix merchant Ben Balafonic.
