Mojo and the Beatniks are a Sheffield seven-piece that spit psychedelic, funky rhythm oil from the hips in an eclectic array of didgeridoo, djembe, brass, guitar, flute, harmonica, drums, bass and soulful vocals. With a large following in Sheffield and a reputation for hi-octane live performances, Mojo and the Beatniks are guaranteed to get the crowd’s hips shaking. The Beatniks have been together for roughly 2 years (though all members are seasoned performers) and have played at Shamania, the Mind, Body and Boogie Festival, Peace in the Park, Shefstock, Sharrowfest and Freefest as well as over 200 gigs around the north. A British tour is in the making. Get your beatnik soul mojo risin' from your hips!

REMIX OF HEY MICKY NOW UP ON PAGE

Hi, hope things are going good for you.
I’m just letting you know that after a year of no new tracks, I now have 10 freshly made for your listening pleasure, but 1 at a time eh?

Remember the old cheese-fest called Hey Micky (your so fine)? Well it’s been remixed by Bronze Medal complete with a fat B-line and myself rapping on it. I’m pretty chuffed with how it’s come out so please drop by, have a listen and leave a comment.


All the best

Micky
