Mumbo Jumbo present

“Troubadours and Raconteurs”

at the Village Hall

Thursday 8th March 2018 7:30pm

The Village Hall is again welcoming Village Ventures – the rural and community touring scheme for Nottinghamshire featuring high quality professional dance, drama and music from the best in national and international touring companies and performers.

Mumbo-Jumbo produce a sound all of their own. They play uplifting original songs, rarely-heard rootsy tunes and more familiar numbers, all delivered with a real sense of humour. They are some of the Midlands' most experienced blues musicians, Oliver Carpenter (vocal/trumpet/percussion) Chris Lomas (vocal, bass, uke and guitar) and Phil Bond (vocal, piano and squeezebox) - three rootsy, close-harmony singer/songwriters singing songs of life, work, baldness and home care for the elderly! It's a big band sound in a small package, with a terrific combo of trumpet, keyboard, accordion, washboard and vocals. Nominated for songwriting in the British Blues Awards.

The show features mainly self-penned catchy songs (check out 'He's got a little bald spot' - which features a guest appearance by Steve 'Dr Teeth' Steinhaus). (see first YouTube link below).
