Victor Menace!!!
The original sound of Ninja Folk! A fusion of fast paced all-original gypsy and classical melodies, laced with punk-rock moments, swing and reggae grooves, and a sprinkling of tourette's induced expletives. Sporting an undeniable all-star cast, led by Fiddle and Soprano Sax, and backed by Guitars, Bass, and Drums - it's chair smashing, pint glass throwing, tipsy gyspy mayhem of the highest order!
Loqui
Variously described as anything from a Pumped-Up Polyphonic Spree to a Punked-out Meatloaf... no wait, COME BACK! Destined to divide opinion from the obsessed to repelled, Leeds-based theatrical odd-balls Loqui are in possession of a unique sound and stage show that has been enthusing and bemusing in equal measure. Loqui have built a reputation on an uproarious live show that encompasses genres as diverse as rock, punk, pop and a myriad of alternative styles as well as the licensed usage of the potentially lethal controlled substances ska, funk and hip-hop.
Sheelanagig
Formed in Bristol in early 2005, Sheelanagig have been honing their own blend of acoustic world-folk mayhem, fusing Celtic and East European dance tunes with gypsy jazz, ska, medieval, North African and Latin music. Each member of Sheelanagig brings something unique to the band: Adrian Sykes (flute, whistles, tabla) has travelled Europe and made several albums with the highly acclaimed electronic roots outfit ‘Elephant Talk'.
