3 Daft Monkeys

Cornish alt-folk band 3 Daft Monkeys weave world music influences around classic folk melodies, drawing the listener into the bizarre and mysterious world of Cornish tales and superstitions.The 4-piece has played on Mark Radcliffe’s show on BBC Radio 2 after he saw them at Glastonbury and performed on the main stage at Eden Project. Radcliffe described them as a “brilliant band... absolutely amazing". After experiencing the band’s notoriously energetic live performance at Glastonbury Festival this summer to a packed out Avalon Stage, Mark Radcliffe declared them as one of his “Highlights of the Festival” on BBC TV coverage, and subsequently invited them to play a session on his BBC Radio 2 Folk Show on Weds 26th November.In their famously intense and dynamic live shows, the band will be performing songs from their award-winning latest album Of Stones and Bones (Best Album, Spiral Earth Awards 2014), a collection of old, new and fictional Cornish tales of forbidden love, murder, rebellion, witchcraft and piracy. All delivered with “panache and a wicked vein of humour”.

Support comes from hot local talents Son of a Beach, a four piece from Tenby who play their own mix of westcoast electro/soul funk, with a feelgood vibe. Heavily influenced by the Pembs coastline and people around them.

Opening slot is innovative, Pembrokeshire based folk harpist, Jess Ward, who will be performing songs from her recent debut album 'The Mermaid's Lament'. Tracks from the album have already received airplay on BBC Radio Wales' Adam Walton Show as well as Frank Hennessy's Celtic Heartbeat programme. With album no.2 already more than half written, expect, also, to hear some technically groundbreaking, fresh material as Jess strums and drums her way into new and emotionally tense territories.
