“Musical sunshine from a multi-talented and multi-instrumental duo!”
Mambo Jambo – a joyous whirlwind of roots music!
A truly unique duo, performing their upbeat mash up of roots styles, with elements of roots, jazz, world and folk – plus bluegrass! A real Jamboree! Along with their own songs the evening may contain New Orleans Gumbo Stew (for which they’ll need the audience’s help!), bluegrass banjo, French accordion waltzes, funky and percussive sambas, Cuban ballads, some jump-jive sax and balkan clarinet.; A fabulous musical treat is in store wherever they roll up, their tour bus packed to the brim with instruments. Pete on guitar, banjo, vocals, accordion, Cuban tres, ukulele, and Frankie on sax, vocals, clarinet, flute, & between them all kinds of percussion including suitcase and spoons!
Pete and Frankie have appeared on various BBC Local Radio shows, the BBC Symphony for Yorkshire and MTV Asia, and have been gathering admirers at shows and festivals in the UK, Europe and internationally. They’ve played gigs in Havana, toured France, Ireland and Sweden, and festivals in Shetland, Borneo, France and Portugal.
