Appearing first as a gentle folk band and armed only with acoustic instruments, close harmonies and a shared vision of the surreal, the band ambush their audience with a sustained barrage of pop classics, mixing theatre, circus, slapstick, competitions, crowd participation and insane walkabouts.

The band was formed in 1990 and developed their show during an epic 5-month European tour taking in twelve countries and performing their streetshows over 250 times.

Since then they have returned to Europe frequently, appearing at numerous street theatre and music festivals in places such as Ferrara, Neuchatel, Bern, Castellaro and Davos, as well as winter tours of the ski resorts including Chamonix, St Moritz, Meribel, Lenzeheide, Val d'Isere and Chateau D’oex.

Back home in England, they perform extensively up and down the land - appearing regularly at many festivals such as Glastonbury (numerous times!), they have also found themselves embedded in local folklore in many towns where they have become street performance legends!

They have played hundreds of weddings and parties and performed at corporate events for some of the country’s largest companies.

They have played in a wide variety of locations from the large (Earls Court and Knebworth) to the small (garden fêtes a speciality).

They have performed at the National Theatre and appeared in Pantomime at 'Circus Crimbo' at Blackheath Concert Halls.

The band performed the song 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' with Monty Python legend Eric Idle in 2008 at a show for HRH Prince Charles, which was shown nationally on ITV1.
