LIVE BANDS

DRUNKEN BALORDI
Wild eyed accordion punk meets beer-spilling gypsy music hall tunes, mixing up Roma, Klezmer, Balkan and Russian into a knees-up mash-up with tales of drinking, erotic pleasure, temptation, vulgarity and life on the streets of the metropolis.
"If you like to laugh, sing, throw your beer around and get hysterical then 'Drunken Balordi' are what you need."

UKULELE GANGSTAS
Funk/rap/punk combo mixing up ukulele, voice, freaky sounds and drums.
"Glam bling hippy space cadets with a fine array of highly entertaining scuffle-pop songs ...the stuff that cults are made of."
Irresistibly bonkers ska-meets-Slade-meets-The Wurzels outfit serving up a grin-inducing mix of knees-up tunes!".

CAPTAIN HOTKNIVES
"Expect rhymes about forms of bread, racist white supremacist polar bears and skanking your nana. Far better and lyrically adept than it has any right to be"
"I've never laughed so much in my life! Captain Hotknives had us all literally doubled over in laughter at the end of the bar. I loved his acapella-ragga tune 'Shabby Muffin' and 'Glue' - all the reasons why glue is better than any other drug in the world!"
"He was fucking brilliant."
