Drunken Balordi
Sometime back in the last century, when punk music was still dangerous, visionary and urban poet Jeff King left his home town of Dublin to travel across Europe, guitar over his shoulder, moving from country to country, busking, drinking and tasting the wines and women before he paused for a rest in Bologna, Italy. He lived there for seven years, playing in various punk bands before moving again, this time to London, with a head full of ideas and a notebook full of drunken ramblings. It was here that the story of the international mongrel gypsy punk rockers ‘Drunken Balordi’ begins.

Long Finger Bandits
Who are this renegade clan of topsy-turvy, raggle-taggle suffragettes with such an insuppressible penchant for chaos, colours, caterwalling, cacophony, timphany, tea, dandelion and dancing?! Could it be!? The LONG FINGER BANDITS, who, armed with their artillery of guitar, trumpets, dangerously contagious drums, lovely voices, hats, puppets, face-paints and flags, leak and drip and smear cheeky droplets of gypsy, rock, folk, punk, jazz, bossanova and spit. Everywhere!

The Bad Things
Bubbling forth like a mossy belch of polka filth from the greasy, jet fuel-contaminated wetlands of the Northwest, comes The Bad Things. With junkyard waltzes and shameless shanties, The Bad Things are hellbent on providing traditional music for the post-apocalyptic era. "Combining elements of Gypsy, folk, Klezmer, Hillbilly ballads, mariachi crooners, and a Vaudeville theatrical aesthetic, the group has a reputation for drunken debauchery and feverish dancing at their live shows.....The group lends their old-fashioned style with a post-modern sense of black humor."
