CALICO JACK

http://www.facebook.com/calico.jack.71/?fref=ts

Calico Jack are a band of boat dwellers based on the Kennet and Avon canal. Their accordion-led, stomping folk-fusion grew up around towpath campfires and has taken them around the UK festival circuit. Expect a melodic mashup of Eastern European folk, sea shanties and carnival chaos driven by galloping beats. With costumes as flamboyant as their music, the band weave strange and enchanting worlds on stage where pirates, fortune tellers and carnies roam through the landscape of a dark and twisted fairytale.

CUPERLICA

A duo, sometime trio, playing sounds and rhythms from across the Balkans, all the way to the Middle East. With soaring clarinet melodies and fast syncopated guitar and percussion, they play a stormy mixture of traditional and original songs which will take you on a journey to far away lands...... Sophie Wilsdon - clarinet and vocals, Barney Rhythm - guitar and vocals and Greg White - udu and drums
