Amp Reviews:

I decided to let the sound of the music tempt me towards my first band of the day. The sounds of the Madness of King George coaxed me into the Colston Hall Global Marquee. After a slow start they managed to charm a static crowd to the extent that when they had completed their set everyone was swaying and dancing to the rhythms of the old countries. The work of the Russian composers was reclaimed in Bristol on a sunny yet slightly muddy afternoon by a band with the lead member wearing wellies. I'm pretty sure it's the first time that this type of music has been played in such footwear! They could be likened to Gogol Bordello without the hype and the need to be fake friends with Madonna. According to their website "their upbeat, cabaret klezmer is driven along by irresistible latin, ska and reggae beats. Playing traditional arrangements and original compositions, this boisterous six piece are guaranteed to unleash your inner dervish." I completely agree, check them out and if you can make the effort to see them you will not be disappointed!
