Hkippers

Event Type

Genre : Music - Jazz/latin

Description

The hKippers play, as they call it, 'Stupid World Music'; bizarre lyrics about fish, hats, plaster, beer, cowboys and more fish set to a tight up-beat, klezmatic Euro-jazz-folk groove combining flights of inspired soloing and melodies your children will sing in the car home.

The Bonzos Go Womad! The staggeringly surreal hKippers are brilliant fun, the music is wild and sure to get people dancing while the lyrics and musicianship will keep you entertained.
