🪗THE CABARATS🎺
No genre is safe from this band! Dub-infused rhythms and knees-up ska collide courageously with eastern melodies, world instruments and infectious vocal hooks to form an alluring and energetic sound.
The Cabarats are constantly sourcing inspiration from all over the world, but have a particular passion for Reggae and Ska, as well as traditional music from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The sound is embellished with electronic samples and a uniquely psychedelic texture which segues dynamically from one style to another, often succumbing to climactic moments of heavy rock.
The ever-growing list of instruments played by these five individuals includes, accordion, outar (a custom built fretless oud-guitar hybrid), keyboards, brass, guitars, drums, pedals, synths, sirens, samplers and more!
What could have become a very niche sound has actually turned out to be extremely accessible and is just as popular with festival goers as it is with young children and their grandparents!
Since releasing their debut album in 2017, the band have had a very exciting journey with highlights including appearing on one of the main stages at Boomtown Fair &, performing on the BBC Introducing stage at Looe Saves the Day. Their list of festival appearances are endless but include Camp Bestival, Tropical Pressure, and Goulash Disko in Croatia.

GALIVANTES
Galivantes are an eight-piece rowdy 'trumpet-punk' band from Manchester whose sound is hard to pin down – not least because we have three lead singers and a range of influences from skapunk, reggae, disco, folk and rock. We are possibly best described as a blend of The Pixies and Sublime, mixing strong driving beats with fiery vocals, crunching guitars, funky bass, and a chaotic cacophony of brass, all wrapped up around a politically charged power-to-the-people message.
Over the years we've been honoured with performing alongside such great and diverse acts such as Akala, Honeyfeet, DJ Woody, and the Hackney Colliery Band, chosen to perform at the launch party of HOME Mcr organised by Danny Boyle, and have headlined stages at UK music festivals such as Kendal Calling and Shambala, and Audio-farm. We've even had a beer named after us!
