Madam Flo and TheBonTonRoulet

Ultrabrite trumpet, sleazy saxophone, groovy bass lines, wham-bam thank you m'am drums, and louche vocals and harmonica, Madam Flo & The BonTonRoulet play an explosive mélange of R'n'B (from when it meant Rhythm'n'Blues), sprinkled with a healthy dose of jazz and rockabilly. One of the most unique outfits to emerge from the London Rhythm 'n' Blues and burlesque scenes. Guaranteed to both fuel your feet and feed your mind, their groove is undeniable.

Lili La Scala -a street opera singing, burlesque dancing, balloon popping, trapeze swinging, glass walking diminuitive diva with a taste for high heels and the high life makes a special appearance.

The Cotswolds - formerly The Fucks

Two english eccentrics; Jemma Freeman and George Lionel Barker came to be a band as a result of a dare by a friend. Built on this foundation there is a mentality of inspiration, excitement and bravado to be found in their performance and music. Their indefatigable desire to entertain is engaging, they are outrageous, charming, but lovely!

Star members of the London Hula Hoopers will be shaking their thing on the dancefloor throughout the night, and we've got plenty of hoops to go around so wind your belly, wiggle your body. For all those slightly concerned about their hoola hooping ability, prepare to be AMAZED! the big blue hoops we have are so easy you barely need to move, yet you will look like a pro. Or you can simply enjoy the view of beautiful guys and gals shaking them hips!

More acts TBA!

And finally, don't miss the hoop-off contest. The winner gets a trophy! Think 'hawaiian run dmc style dance-off'
