Swinging 50’s at Pizza Express

Best Pubs & Live M u s i c Ve n u e s a c r o s s Maidstone & Medway

“Bamboozle are a dynamic trio combining internationally renowned singer/guitarist/ songwriter Jim Knowler (The Keytones, Gotz Alsmann), injecting his exciting and instantly recognisable guitar riffs, with new face on the scene, singer/bassist/songwriter Serena Sykes, lighting up the stage with her dynamic performances, electric vocal and daring double bass stunts, backed by the slick, thrumming grooves of drummer/vocalist Les Curtis (Imelda May, Darrell Higham, Wanda Jackson).

Hailing from the seaside town of Ramsgate, in terms of hardworking touring artists, you will struggle to find a band that plays more often than Bamboozle. They have performed extensively in the UK and across Europe this year, with headline slots at Vintage Nostalgia Festival, Summer Jamboree (IT) and Midsummer Jamboree (FI) to name a few. This will be no different next year when the festival season rolls back around, with the band already having announced several appearances for 2019, including headlining Twinwood Festival and retuning to Vintage Nostalgia to headline for the second year running.

On Halloween night they released their single ‘Heebie Jeebies’ with a spooky, atmospheric video that is well worth a watch, telling the tale of a mysterious young man who slowly ensnares the heart of our leading lady.

Bamboozle combine the sounds of the swinging 50’s, with the sound of today in a way that mesmerises both retro loving and modern audiences.

Go and check them out at a live show close to you. “ FRIDAY 30TH NOVEMBER Bell Inn Ware St Bearsted Mofos Eagle High Street Rochester Broken Five Pointed Star West Malling Usual Suspects Huntsman Pattens Lane Rochester Stellar Talk Walnut Tree Tonbridge Road Maidstone The Acoustic Tones Ditton Community Centre Heart Of Kent Hospice Party Night ”70’s Band CHICORY TIP” LIVE Music tickets £15
