LOUIS BARABBAS & THE BEDLAM SIX come to JAMBOREE This SATURDAY!!
Great Support from Marmaduke Dando, Richard Barry and a sneaky few songs from Samson and Delilah (If you get there early!)
Louis Barabbas and the Bedlam Six
Since forming in late 2006 their music has infiltrated almost every creative niche, being adapted into animated short films, burlesque routines, musical theatre, fringe festival revues, documentary soundtracks, motion picture scores and even a comic strip.
Over the years they have won praise and support from the likes of Supergrass, The Mighty Boosh, Har Mar Superstar, UB40, Mark Steel, The Hells Angels, BBC Radio and even the Beat Poet biographer Barry Miles both for their furious onstage energy and Louis manic lyrical gymnastics.
Their infamous live shows incorporating rock, jazz, folk and theatre influences have proved time and time again that the group is at home on any line-up, even sharing the bill with such disparate acts as Motorhead, Sun Ras Arkestra, I Am Kloot, Eliza Carthy, The Blockheads, Emmanuel Jal and The Buzzcocks. In the last year alone they have toured Europe, the States and Mexico, inspiring stage invasions, dancing in the aisles and a confused mixture of exhaustion and bonhomie wherever they go. They are signed to co-operative Manchester-based label Debt Records.
Marmaduke Dando
Marmaduke Dando is a singer of morose ballads and frisky drunken jigs, often extracting references to early Scott Walker, Brel and Weill.
Bred from genuine pirate ancestry in a southern port, now based in London. He writes about all the horrors and beauties of the modern world, and barks them back at it with his dear band on the cold and regimented performance stages of London.
His songs have been set to films, played in the Houses of Parliament, and used as an aid for aspiring Casanovas.
Richard Barry
Richard is one of the most fondly revered performers on the UK folk circuit and Debt Records is making it their business to bring his work to a wider audience (whether he likes it or not).
In the past Richard has supported the likes of Bob Geldof, Kiki Dee, Midge Ure, Fairport Convention and Dr Feelgood. He is also a much-demanded voice-over artist, narrator and actor.
Entry Price: £6 or £5 NUS
