The Sad Band Experience

Part slick musicians part disaster clown band, they emerge from the darkness to mingle with you and entertain you with their tragic stories and songs.

Society's outcasts, the forgotten people, the unwanted, creeping around trying to go unnoticed. Trundling along with them their clapped out old trolley brimming with a ramshackle array of musical instruments, their worldly possessions, their memories. Playing an eclectic shonky blend of Swing/skiffle/folk/blues.
