edit - the above is all assuming the piece is in G major - I didn't know they play it in an off A flat key.

Ooh good to hear some Jimmy Barnes there @Bellycaster!
Madness do this quite a bit and it's evident on the choruses of "Our House". I think they do it on the second chorus but if you listen from 3.10, the choruses go back n' forth right up to the end with a half step coming in between 3.17 and 3.26. When we play it we go round a couple of times with the whole pattern. Damn clever band!

Anyhoo, half step modulations: I have heard these applied just to 12 bar blues, its a Buddy Guy trick. Typically intro solo in one key and then bam everyone up a semi tone for the next lot of 12 bars.Wonderfully disjointed.Although a car crash waiting to happen if someone in the band forgets.
I play acoustic gigs occasionally with Mrs.K and another guitarist, but seemed to have found myself on bass for that too. My function band has a gig in July but things are very quiet there and I have a gig with the Squeeze tribute band in May. I've also just found out that Madness lot, Cairo East, have landed a gig at the well-known 100 Club and I've never played there, so I'm pleased about that. I do need a good, rock, funk working band to play what I really like and test my sounds as I feel a bit like a spare part at the moment and I want to be a genuine part of something active.
