…30 years on! This really is a record for a band that has not followed the traditional pathway, a band whose core aim has always been to strike a balance between street art and stage-show, providing a steady, skilfully-blended stream of music, poetry and humour.

Nine musicians, comedians, singers, all playing a variety of different instruments some traditional, some used in unconventional and imaginative ways and some of which are pure invention. Their art has taken them into the realms of traditional Beaux Arts brass band music, recycled punk, hybrid musette/funk rock  and into art involving a hotchpotch of musical objects.
