Halloween Party ft Bandini, Julian Gaskell & his Ragged Trousered Philanthropists + Kesha DArlin

Event Information

The annual spooktacular Jamboree Halloween Party with ace gypsy blues act Bandini, the Cornwall King of the agricultural garage-gypsy sound, Julian Gaskell, backed by his screaming dukes of skiffle, and ace cabaret act Kesha DArlin! Be prepared for a swooning, hair-raising feast, with fancy dress very much encouraged...

Bandini is pure, wild energy on stage. Described as “the bastard son of Tom Waits and Cab Calloway” by The Troubadour in London, he mentions Van Morrison, Dr.John, Tom Waits and The Clash among his main influences, which have brought him to blend jazz, blues, rock and gypsy into a dynamic live show.

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 his long-suffering band, ft. Thomas Pooley Tolkien Sharpe (banjo, piano, mandolin, vocals), Cally Gibson (viola and violin) Nigel Parsons (bass) and Matthew Collington (drums). “Gaskell 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

Kesha DArlin - more info TBA.
