Event information
Saturday night at legendary east London venue Jamboree with The Cornwall King of the agricultural garage-gypsy sound backed by his screaming dukes of skiffle!
The band will play two sets over the course of the night. Live music from 8.30pm.
Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano.
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, named after the Robert Tressell book, are Julian’s long-suffering band:
Thomas Pooley Tolkien Sharpe on banjo, piano, mandolin, vocals
Cally Gibson on viola and violin
Nigel Parsons on bass
Matthew Collington on drums
“such originality, intelligence and appeal that the ability to hear seems like a privilege” -Vive le Rock
"a gorgeous, gorgeous folky voice" - BBC Introducing
“he really is an original- declamatory, vulpine vocals ranting and roaring his splendidly acrid, protestful lyrics over a glorious, urgent ramshackle garage blend of Balkan-Klezmerisms and French gypsy cafebilly” - fRoots
“just too confrontational” - Guy Garvey
