The Electric Lobsters with Tony Slinger
The Lobster set is constantly evolving, but has at its core powerful fiddle/squeezebox-led tunes and a great selection of songs. Most of the band’s material is their own, with influences including English/Irish/Cajun/World, with more than a hint of Style Council, Bob Dylan and the Waterboys. Listen for yourself!
"The Electric Lobsters…provided the kind of raw energy an illegal rave is far too young to know about” (Folk Roots)
"In the pink just for you… get those feelers a’twitchin’ and claws a’clatterin’. If your eyes don’t pop out then you deserve to be boiled alive” (The Bell: Bath)

Sheelanagig
Sheelanagig have been honing their eclectic blend of folk, jazz and world music since early 2005. Blistering live performances have made Sheelanagig festival favourites across the UK and into Europe, and caused dancefloor mayhem from the Scottish Islands to the South of Italy.
