Event information

The Kinky Wizzards are one of the most audacious, exciting and
fun instrumental rock jazz bands to have exploded in the music
scene. The Welsh trio, comprising of bassist Mathew ‘Miffy’
Griffiths, drummer Jonathan ‘Jiffy’ Griffiths and guitarist Ryan
Elliott offer an unforgettable pyrotechnical kinky display of
musical wizardry where you can expect anything from flying
drum sticks to slapped bass to indulgent yet infectious guitar
solos, all packaged in ludicrous song titles such as ‘Door Dancing

Penny Collector’ and ‘Stomp Foot Syndrome’.

Since releasing their debut album ‘Tasting Toadstools’ of
predominantly bass and drums, the band has sold records
worldwide and has already garnered a solid reputation, having
played the London drum show to an audience including Pink
Floyd’s Nick Mason, been featured on DrumTalk TV and opened
for Frank Zappa’s band members, The Mothers of Invention. The
band has also endorsed and demoed gear for worldwide

manufacturers Mapex and Seymour Duncan.

The band released their second record ‘Quirky Musings’ in March
of 2017, introducing Elliott’s writing to the catalogue. The record
has sold internationally and has been praised by fans and critics
alike for the instrumental prowess on display from the trio, as
well the playful interplay, grooviness and sense of fun. All of

which is showcased in their live performances.

Throughout the course of 2018, the band went back to the
drawing board and started working on new material. Kinky
Wizzards returned to the studio in the summer of 2019 and in
2020, released their third album,

‘The Effervescent Travellers’.
The album was inspired by the subject of travelling and
movement and the excitement and vibrance that can be
captured in a bustling city, a mountain or racing on a push cycle!
The album also saw the trio exploring a more dense production

that includes a brass trio on the album.

The Kinky Wizzards are three extremely dedicated musicians
who set out to push musical boundaries whilst always holding
their notorious sense of humorous wit that will thrill any lover

of instrumental music.
