This East London collective
of shadowy ne’er do wells, led by Norwegian born Paul-Ronney
Angel, have been touring their unique brand of Bourbon
Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop’N’Stroll extensively
since 2003. Raising the roof at headline shows across UK, Ireland,
USA, Europe & Scandinavia, they also regularly grace festival
stages such as Glastonbury, Latitude, Bestival, Electric Picnic,
Edinburgh Festival…
With their lurching sea shanties, debauched
murder ballads, messed-up tangos and whiskey-soaked gypsy stomps,
some reckon they’re from the same stable of stallions as
Tom Waits and Nick Cave; others point out the last gang in town
swagger of The Clash and the hellbound blues that John Lee Hooker
first dragged out of the swamp.
2008 saw them receive a personal invitation
from The Pogues to open for them in the USA leading
to them also opening for the whole of the UK/Ireland X-Mas 2008
tour – anyone who witnessed that tour can testify what a
roaring success it was!
Featuring between 7 to 12 musicians playing
guitars, drums, fiddle, trumpet, banjo, washboard, upright bass,
gong, mandolin, accordion, harmonicas, saxophone and even empty
bottles & tie racks to build their unique brand of Bourbon
Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop’n’Stroll…
This has got to be one of the most
entertaining Bands we have ever brought to Mickleton. If you missed
them in 2009 you must see this riveting show
