With Celtic and eastern influences, the 3 Daft Monkeysโ dynamic style of world folk music reflects the global village in which we now live. Their infectious dancing rhythms lead you through a musical journey of the senses and emotions, and will leave you breathless, enthralled and exhilarated.
After experiencing the bandโs notoriously energetic live performance at Glastonbury Festival last summer, Mark Radcliffe declared them as one of his โHighlights of the Festivalโ on BBC TV coverage, and subsequently invited them to play a session on his BBC Radio 2 Folk Show. The band have also performed a live session with Whispering Bob Harris on Radio 2.
The band have just released a brand new album in April 2017, following a highly successful crowdfunding campaign. The title track โYear of the Clownโ is a social and whimsical comment on the strange and disturbing times we find ourselves in, where the โelected principlesโ in the world circus appear to be the fools.
With their quirky and original approach to music, and their passion, intensity and sheer joy of life, 3 Daft Monkeys have gained themselves a large and loyal cult following. Their music is hard to pigeon-hole, mixing and crossing many musical genres from Celtic, Klezmer, Gypsy, Balkan, Latin, Ska, Dub Reggae, Indie, Rock and even a hint of Shostakovich. 3 Daft Monkeys have always maintained an independent and cottage-industry approach to their musical career, and have gained a huge following whilst ploughing their own furrow through the music business, gaining momentum through their live performances and intensive European touring schedule.
With a brand new 4-piece line-up, the band weave enchanting melodies with catchy choruses, virtuoso vibrant fiddle, rhythmic 12-string guitar, 6-string bass, bespoke hand-percussion and 4-part vocal harmonies. Fascinating lyrics of personal and whimsical observations on life, and folk tales both ancient and modern, are told within the swirling layers of their music, all with the essential catchy sing-along chorus.
The bandโs diversity is reflected in the acts for whom they have been invited as special guests, including touring across the UK and Europe with the Levellers, and opening for bands such as Hawkwind, Bellowhead, Show of Hands and Dreadzone, as well as headlining their own national tours.
3 Daft Monkeys have played at a huge number and variety of festivals in the UK, including Fairport Conventionโs Cropredy, Beautiful Days, Trowbridge Village Pump, Towersey Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival and Boomtown Fair. Their eclectic mix of styles has drawn them a following right across Europe, and the band have headlined festivals in Holland, Germany and France. 3 Daft Monkeys have also recently joined acrobats and circus performers in the new and vibrant boutique โbusking festivalโ scenes of Switzerland and Italy.

Support comes from Firejam OG Maxi Rai who unfortunately had to pull out of our 3 Years of Firejam celebrations last year with 3 Daft Monkeys. Due to good reason though, now a proud mother she's back on stage this year with her one woman and guitar show of funny and profound lyrics performed with a personal and banterous style on every stage. One voice, one guitar. modern day, soulful anti - folk, with a twist. All original songs. A combination of wordplay, real life stories, some of a more poetic nature, with a backdrop of acoustic guitar, using a rhythmic style mixed with a big voice ("for a little person") and a whole lot of feeling.
