THE DEMON BARBERS
Over the last eight years The Demon Barbers have gained major recognition for their original and imaginative approach to traditional music and song. They take mainly traditional ballads, strange tales of myth and magic and coil them, twist them, make them stranger, darker, becoming tales of Gothic danger; they don’t so much make folk rock as make traditional tales quiver and pulse with electricity.
Damien Barber – vocals/guitar/concertina, Bryony Griffith – fiddle/vocals,
Will Hampson – melodeon/harmonica, Lee Sykes – electric bass, Ben Griffith – drums
“Energetic fiddle and passionate, distinctive vocals ‘with driven punchy tunes and songs, drum ‘n’ bass grooves, the odd touch of ska and an ever present feel that this lot know how to party’ result in ‘one of the most exciting acts around… check them out…’”
