3 Daft Monkeys



Tim Ashton: Vocals, guitar, whistle, foot drum.





Athene Roberts: Fiddle, vocals.






Jamie Waters: Bass guitar.

World influenced acoustic music, with a hint of the bizarre!

From Cornwall, 3 Daft Monkeys combine rousing vocals, frenetic fiddling, rhythmical 12-string guitar, dancing bass and foot drum.

" A brilliant Band ... absolutely amazing "
Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2


Whether it's Celtic, Balkan, Gypsy, Spanish, Cornish or other World Music you are drawn to, you will hear it's influences in their self written music. Add to this the band's varied backgrounds from Dance, Dub, Punk, Reggae and Traditional Folk, and you have a stunning combination.

Their highly anticipated new studio album ‘Social Vertigo’ has been hailed as a dynamic and astonishing album, demonstrating superbly the band’s varied and accomplished musicianship.

Whatever your taste in music, come and see them live ... their unique blend of high octane, funked-up folk is guaranteed to get you dancing!!
