The Demon Barber Roadshow
"the show is a dynamic, forward-looking approach to traditional music for the new century",
Mel McLelland, BBC Radio 2 review of Holmfirth Festival 2002
Queen Mab's Music is the management company for the Demon Barber Roadshow.
Formed in July 2001, this new band has already gained major recognition for its innovative arrangements of traditional song. With Damien, Bryony and Will maintaining the solid folk core, the band is held together by the driving rhythm section of Griffith & Sykes.
The Demons are always keen to break new ground. Their approach to folk rock is such that one has to redefine the term to make it apply.
To form the Demon Barber Roadshow, The Demon Barbers team up with some of England's most exciting young rapper, clog and morris dancers: Black Swan Rapper; -Fiona & Tiny Taylor and Dogrose Morris to create a high energy music and dance spectacular.
The Demon Barber Roadshow is:
Damien Barber: Vocals, Concertina, Guitar, Rapper; Bryony Griffith: Fiddle, Vocals; Will Hampson: Melodeon, Harmonica, Morris, Rapper; Lee Sykes: Bass, Rapper; Ben Griffith: Drums; Julian Sutton (dep): Melodeon, Harmonica; Fiona Taylor: Clogs; Tiny Taylor: Clogs; David Hall: Morris, Rapper; Andy Stephenson: Rapper; Chris Taylor (dep): Morris, Rapper; Damon Holland (dep): Rapper; Fiona Bradshaw (dep): Clogs.
"just the kind of shot in the arm that folk music needs from time to time",
Nigel Schofield, Free Reed
