The Demon Barbers bring a new repertoire, extra band members and a modern twist to their multi-award winning Roadshow this June!
The part gig, part dance show comes to The Atkinson, Southport on Friday 8 June.
Since winning ‘Best Live Act’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards The Demon Barbers have been immersed in the development of their Folk & Hip Hop Dance Extravaganza ‘The Lock In’.
This really is a mind blowing album with so much good stuff. It has to be an award-winner this time next year. R2 Magazine *****
The band have toured successfully around the UK, including high profile shows at Glastonbury Festival and 5 star reviews for their 2 week run at Edinburgh Fringe.
Now they bring some of the UK’s most exciting young Clog, Sword, Hip Hop & Break dancers onto the concert stage to create the live folk music & dance spectacular of the year!
Combining solid traditional acoustic instruments and songs with the added oomph of a superbly tight rhythm section they create a unique and captivating sound.
‘with driven punchy tunes and songs, drum ‘n’ bass grooves, the odd touch of ska and an ever present feel that this lot know how to party’ result in ‘one of the most exciting acts around… check them out….’fRoots
The Demon Barbers XL features new material from their new album ‘Disco At The Tavern’ a collaboration with Grammy & Emmy Award winners Donal Hodgson and Kipper, best known for their work with Sting.
