BADGER BADGER
Badger Badger are a percussion-heavy ensemble who are restoring the live musical experience back to its raw animalistic source. Their feverish improvisations journey through the spectrum of music and dance, from dubstep to jungle, disco to rap samba! They will be grooving with our wonderful animal masked dancers...so get growling and purring and join the dance!

THEY SAY JUMP!
Sounding like a lost refugee from a musical war between Latin America and the Caribbean islands, They Say Jump is an outcast, an orphan given solace on the stages of our summer festivals and parties. A wandering freak show without illusion, TSJ live is a carnival of sounds daring to test your imagination, expectations and screaming ‘dance or I will beat you’. These are the words of ‘Kwabena Adjepong’ the band’s subliminal vocalist!

HARRIET STARLING AND THE GOOD HONEYS
This newly formed band is sure to fast become a darling of the folk scene; be one of the first to give them a stage. 'Harriet Starling and the Good Honeys' mix bluegrass blues with country folk/rock. An eclectic play around with all things rootzy.

BADGER BINGO
'It's Bingo but it’s Badger! It’s 90 balls comin' at ya with a deranged feral spin! Badger Bingo tears at the bark of normal Bingo and spits it out into the crowd!'
