Event information
The Gutter Brothers emerged in the late 1980's as a busking band based in London, regulars on the Covent Garden street scene.
The original 1988 line-up of Tony Green (vocals), Steve Turner (bass), Jeff Walker (drums) and Chris Cawte (guitar) has reunited for a handful of UK shows on a roughly annual basis since 2003 following the death of founding member Dennis Johnson (tea-chest bass and lyrics). In 2008 the band released 'El Krusho', an album dedicated to Dennis' memory which featured new songs composed using remaining lyrics written by him. A new recording of previously unreleased songs 'Mother Primeval' followed in 2014.
The Gutter Brothers return to celebrate more than 30 years of swampy rock 'n' roll history with a country style gumbo of great tunes, rare funk grooves, a slab of ska and a small pinch of metal to taste.
