Band Ouse-ing with punk skiffle

A comedy skiffle band are heading back to the Fens next month.

The Ouse Valley Singles Club, whose repertoire includes Girl From The Fens, is playing The Elizabethan Centre at Whaplode Drove on Saturday, February 28.

A spokesman said: “Influenced by the long forgotten sounds and traditions of 1950s skiffle they combine this sound with the energy of punk and the swing of rock and roll, whilst occasionally dropping some reggae flavour into the mix.

“Then layering this with hilarious folk-like story-telling, often crossing the parameters of what is deemed to be politically correct but keeping it very tongue in cheek.

“In doing this, they have created a truly original and highly entertaining sound that has been dubbed ‘New Wave Skiffle’ and they have been described as ‘George Formby meets The Clash’ where vaudeville music hall meets working men’s club.”

Tickets for the Ouse Valley Singles Club show are £15 and available from www.ticketsource.co.uk
