Description

For all ages! A fabulous, family, festival feature for Leek Blues & Americana 2019. Vintage style jazz/blues. Songs about science, dinosaurs, seaweed, cheese and much, much more. Free biscuits on arrival!!!

Faster than a speeding puffin, more chocolatey than a chocolate labrador, descending from apes (if they are tall enough) Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers release your ears to play backgammon undisturbed. Tuba, piano, drums, ukulele, tickling and rubbing your senses into a fun stew. Enjoy yourselves, if you can; Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers are greater than you think!

"My favourite album of the year...every track on it is a gem. The lyrics are a thing of beauty"
Alan Raw, BBC Introducing

"Sometimes I love bands because their music is so exquisitely crafted and sometimes simply because it's irresistibly daft. In the case of Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers it's both!"
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

"Riotous fun, catchy melodies combined with bonkers lyrics and a winning stage charm. The perfect example of family music done really right. They have every child, adult and grandparent at Just So singing their songs weeks before they arrive; demands for their return the next year before their current set has even finished Cathryn Peach, Just So Festival

If surreal was a path, Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers are floating above the grass alongside it on a cabbage"
Michael Chenhangerangeran, Metro

"Classic English surreality, a delightful mix of Vic Reeves Big Night Out, Bonzos and Music Hall. I want to marry them all"
Bob Fischer, BBC Radio Tees

It was epic! The Badgers played a stormer and had the crowd eating out of their hand"
Steve Haddrell, WOMAD
