STARRING:

THE URBAN VOODOO MACHINE
-Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop'n'Stroll from London!
*Led by the Norwegian-born Paul-Ronney Angel, The Urban Voodoo Machine is a supremely talented collective of London-based musicians whose lurching sea shanties, debauched murder ballads, skewed tangos and gypsy stomps have been bringing the spirit of the carnie to an ever-growing audience of dedicated fans these past few years and seen them tour and support artists like The Pogues, New York Dolls, Paul McCartney and Goran Bregovic.
Comprising anywhere between 7 and 12 musicians at any one time, the group play a colourful array of instruments including guitars, drums, fiddle, trumpet, banjo, washboard, upright bass, gong, mandolin, accordion, harmonica, saxophone, tuba, sousaphone and even empty bottles and tie racks to build their own unique Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop”n’Stroll.

"A great mix of Preservation Hall jazz, Eastern European folk and rock'n'roll"
4/5 R2 MAGAZINE

"The culture crossing sound has roots in the Pogues, the Clash and cabaret noveau"
4/5 DAILY MIRROR

MADDIE RUTHLESS
-Rocksteady Queen Of New Orleans!

* Louisiana's own "Rocksteady Queen of New Orleans", Maddie Ruthless, is very serious about riddim. As Maddie Ruthless & the Secret Affair, she brought a bold, yet classic, style of Ska to the world. Now, with her friends from New York, the Forthrights, Maddie is making a heavy purist's style rocksteady with deep cut rhythm blended seamlessly with classic New Orleans R&B songwriting. This is a rude gyal tek ova."

WHY ARE WE BUILDING SUCH A BIG SHIP?
-NOLA Punk Brass Cabaret Party!
* An unwieldy, shifting assemblage of horns, strings, percussion and voices, one minute graced with wistful melancholy, tempered with cautious optimism the next, they're one of the most curious and original bands in America

VIC RUGGIERO
-From The Slackers
* Vic is most know from his work with NYC ska legends The Slackers, but also finds time to hit the road and produce some fine solo albums with his Dylanesque Hobo Ska Blues.
