Not the only Clown in the Village (2007 to date)

[<< Previous Band] [Next Band >>]

Uncle Yuk Yuk has been hatched!


"Not The Only Clown in The Village" have been through a few line-up changes over the past year since their creation at the beginning of 2007. Jonsky out of the band Leggofingers played bass for a while and Jason out of Johnny Action Finger and The Monty Pirates has guested on bass and guitar. Nik Turner has also guested on saxophone and flute.

At the start of 2008 the final full line-up has been set. Robin Benson {anchor man of TidyLike Records and The Narberth Rock School} on guitar and vocals, Tess {formerly the singer with Brother Vegetable} on drums, melodica, accordian and vocals, Bowen {guitarist of Order 66}on bass and Craig High on vocals, clarinet, tin whistle, tenor recorder, percussion and harmonica.

Craig's inaugural gig was at The Queen's Hall in Narberth, West Wales in Dec 2007 in front of a couple of hundred punters who were largely of the teenage variety. Sendelica, Order 66, Regime and The Monty Pirates were also on the line-up.

Craig compered the event and gave away chocolate Santas on sticks, Hawkwind and Devo DVDs, clown masks and tangerines as big big prizes.

With plenty of gigs in the pipe-line for 2008 this Dubfolk Punk ensemble are poised and ready to graduate into a squeaky nose wearing, long shoed, flashing bow tied bunch of bedlamite Anarchists exploding their clown car at a venue near you! The last couple of years concluding this, the first decade of the twenty first century, will see the rise of the clown as an antidote to CCTV surveilance if we have anything to do with it.
