Featuring, fresh from decades in New Orleans, the mighty JIMBINO VEGAN AND THE JAZZ CANNIBALS. Supported by BANDINI, from London via Italy.

Beads, Booty Shaking, and a whole lot of Banquet. 

The Jazz Cannibals are a storming New Orleans band mixing traditional jazz and original songs.

Jimbino Vegan is a jazz musician who has learnt his art performing in a circus for 5 years and working in New Orleans for the same period of time. He is an energetic and animated performer and his songs defy classification, ranging from folk, swing to funk, rap and blues, with lyrics about subjects as varied as spaghetti, the overground, death and the seaside. What they all have in common is that they are uplifting and full of fun surprises and humour, even in the sad songs. Jimbino is also known to break out into impromptu breakdancing between sets. He is joined by the brilliant Tim Fairhall on bass, Pete “the Fizz” Warner on drums and Prophet Piers Tamplin laying down some old testament tenor saxophone.

Bandini is pure, wild energy on stage. He has been described as “the bastard son of Tom Waits and Cab Calloway” by The Troubadour, London. His major influences are diverse- Van Morrison, Dr. John, Tom Waits and The Clash, which have led him to fuse jazz, blues, rock and gypsy into a dynamic live show. This combined with his enigmatic and theatrical stage performances has led Bandini to became one of the most relevant and exciting emerging artists today.
