  • Bio

    Introducing The Rinky Dinks: Bristol's first ukulele supergroup! Comprising musicians drawn from a number of Bristol bands past and present and representing musical genres as diverse as hip hop, metal, house, punk and pop; The Rinky Dinks aim to wrestle back all the best tunes from the ubiquitous guitar bands! The idea really took off when Mike lent Joe a ukulele over Christmas 2005. After the recruitment of Quin and Fez plus a few rehearsals, they played their first gig at the Mayors Arms, Bristol in April 2006! After that first gig, Mace was drafted in creating the final line up of three ukes, upright bass and a stripped down drum-kit! Since then The Rinky Dinks have continued to build their live reputation around the South West and beyond, having played gigs as diverse as a back garden in Bridport through to playing at The Big Chill and Bestival?! The Rinky Dinks are always busy adding some fresh new songs to their set, so make sure you catch the Rinky Dinks' unique take on pop music from the '30's to the '00's soon! Please have a good rummage around here and also check out http://band.to/therinkydinks/ for more information, and treat yourself to a CD and a t-shirt!
