3 Daft Monkeys

“Brilliantly bonkers world folk festival favourites” The Sunday Times “A 4-person festival… a force of nature” Mark Radcliffe BBC2 Based in Cornwall but reaching across continents, 3 Daft Monkeys are a genre-defying folk-world four-piece powerhouse. Combining Celtic and Cornish roots with fiery fiddle tunes, Balkan and Romani influences, punk-style sass and irresistible global rhythms, 3 Daft Monkeys have recently released their brand-new album Information Camouflage, described as “an optimistic, life-affirming whirlwind of earthy goodness” (Spiral Earth) and “an anarchic mix of punk-faced Cornish folk simmered in a rich sauce of Balkan exotica, full of wonders and mysteries” (SLAP mag). Beloved on the festival scene, 3 Daft Monkeys have played main stages across Europe including Glastonbury (Avalon and Glade), Lorient Festival Interceltique (FR), Beautiful Days, Sidmouth Folk Festival, Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Boomtown, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, Bearded Theory, Bern Buskers (CH), Costa Del Folk Ibiza, and Folk Segovia (ES), alongside support slots for The Levellers, Hawkwind, Oysterband and The Cat Empire. “Fast and furious with pithy prose and bonkers beats” Devizine “An anarchic mix of punk-faced Cornish Folk simmered in a rich sauce of Balkan Exotica, full of wonders and mysteries” SLAP mag “One of my favourite festival moments ever” Mike Harding BBC2
