CORNISH band 3 Daft Monkeys will be at large in the Blackdown Hills when they come to Clayhidon parish hall on Friday (November 3).

The festival favourites have thrilled audiences from Glastonbury to Beautiful Days, have toured with the Levellers, and opened for bands such as Hawkwind, Bellowhead, Show of Hands and Dreadzone,

Their music mixes musical genres from Celtic, Klezmer, Gypsy, Balkan, Latin, Ska, Dub Reggae, Indie, Rock and even a hint of Shostakovich.

Mark Radcliffe, after experiencing the band’s energetic live performance at Glastonbury Festival last summer, declared them to be one of his ‘highlights of the festival’ on BBC TV coverage and invited them to play a session on his BBC Radio 2 Folk Show.

The 3 Daft Monkeys have four members, making music with a virtuoso vibrant fiddle, rhythmic 12-string guitar, six-string bass, bespoke hand-percussion and four-part vocal harmonies.

The band are at the parish hall at 7.30pm – doors open 7pm – and tickets are £10. A pre-booked supper is £5.
