Doors 7pm Music 7.15pm
Musical explorers and eclectic duo Mambo Jambo have an infectious passion for playing live, delighting audiences with their upbeat shows, their original songs and all their instruments! Their music fuses magically crafted elements of roots, jazz, world and folk. Think carnivals, fiestas, hoedowns, and speakeasies – all in one show!
A fabulous musical treat is in store wherever they roll up, their tour bus packed to the brim with instruments. Frankie is on sax, vocals, clarinet, flute, uke, guitar, and Pete on guitar, vocal, banjo, tres (traditional Cuban guitar), accordion, & between them all kinds of percussion including suitcase and spoons!
Pete and Frankie have appeared on various BBC Local Radio shows, BBC Look North, and MTV Asia, and have been gathering admirers at shows & festivals the length and breadth of the country. UK festivals include Shetland, Broadstairs, Sidmouth, Beverley Folk Festivals, Manchester, Hull & Cork Jazz Festival, Musicport, Knockengorroch, International Eisteddfod, Costa del Folk etc. They’ve toured France, Ireland, Netherlands and Sweden, and played gigs as far afield as Havana, Borneo and Reykjavik.
