...now stir furiously…
The Nudgels are anywhere between a three and six piece Melbourne-based Cajun, Zydeco and reggae outfit with a rotating cast of guests. Part Scotland, part Surf Coast, past Tasmania and definitely part Melbourne — The Nudgels are the business in playing first-class rockin’ roots music whether as a three or five piece extravaganza.
Detach yourselves from couches and remote controls ladies and gentleman — The Nudgels are in fine form and have the goods to deliver. Give yourself an aural treat and catch them in their stripped-down three-piece or fully charged five-piece glory…
“If you haven’t caught The Nudgels before, then shame. They are an exceptional group of musicians”
“The Nudgels play an infectious (non-curable) blend of Zydeco, Tex-Mex, Country Swing, and Reggae — the sort of music you can’t help tapping your foot or yelling out to”
