Mad Apple Circus at The Old Market Assembly
12

A gig held at The Old Market Assembly on Friday 18th February. The event starts at 22:00.


Mad Apple Circus is an original blend of horn-fuelled styles, built on Ska/Hip-Hop/Jazz and Latin grooves – nothing but the good stuff. Owing to their unique sound and energetic performances, this hard-hitting, humble Bristolian nine-piece have fast become festival favourites and a popular choice among promoters in the UK and Europe.

Since bounding into the underground music scene and forging a presence of their own, MAC have been busy sharing stages with some of the industry’s finest. Notable greats include UB40, The Beat, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, The Skints, Suburban Legends and Hot 8 Brass Band.

The launch of their second studio album (Designer Music) in 2018 saw the band reach new heights. As well as making appearances on local radio shows, their music continues to receive airtime across England and abroad which in turn is priming the continent nicely for their third European tour!
Already having ticked off slots at a whole host of festivals, over the last few years alone they’ve set crowds alight at Bestival, Sunrise, Boomtown Fair, Secret Garden Party, Beautiful Days, Symmetry Festival, Wilderness and Glastonbury to mention but a few. With a honed ambition to continually enrich their music all the while remaining true to their core, Mad Apple Circus have unquestionably set about creating their own distinctive sound which is suitably staging itself as BRISTONE! … goes well with cloudy cider.
