Virginia Brown and the Shameless
Direct from Sicily
1st UK Show
“Virginia Brown and The Shameless, is an absolutely amazing Sicilian band, that blended Afro-Cuban rhythms with Rhythm and Blues!
A burst of energy that blows up the ballrooms to time of rhumba, mambo, stroll and boogie, in a word, the New Orleans Rhythm and Blues sound.
With the roaring voice, the boogie piano, the jumping guitar, the slapping bass, the driving drums and the honking sax, they bring back to life the authentic sound of Clarence Garlow, Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, Dave Bartholomew, Lee Allen, Prof. Longhair.”

Excellent London based band The Devout Sceptics making a welcome return to Jump Jive and Shout. The Devout Sceptics have stormed Bestival, they are stylish, and bass player Ian Fuller continues to write great songs. As well as being good to watch they perform extremely well because they enjoy what they do and have amazing chemistry. Look forward to original material from this stylish London outfit, whose songs fuse country, Americana, blues and rockabilly and features the charming lead vocalist Collette Winter with the country twang in her voice and the raw emotion of some of the great rockabilly queens like Wanda Jackson and Janice Martin.

The Black Kat Boppers will be raising the roof at Jump Jive and Shout with a rip roaring live show.
From Southampton The Black Kat Boppers are four fellas who love to play hard boppin’, jump up, rockin’ blues, dance music. Influences include early rhythm & blues, jump & jive, ska, and doo-wop. Collectively, when all brought together, The Black Kat Boppers sound is authentic, raw, sincere and unique.
The Black Kat Boppers have stormed Glastonbury, Port Eliot, Bestival and Hyde Park (with Blur and The Specials). They’ve rocked the Notting Hill Carnival, Rockabilly Rave and Latitude, not to mention performing a memorable set with Florence and The Machine at Bob Geldof’s 60th birthday party. They’ve even been joined on stage by Damon Albarn as well as working with him in the studio and have regularly had Clash legend Paul Simonon playing with the band.
Their latest recording “Boppin' Atcha†makes it clear that the Black Kat Boppers mean business and are here to stay. Club legend and musician Gaz Mayall declared “I’ve seen hundreds of rock n roll bands and The Black Kat Boppers are right at the very top“.
“With The Black Kat Boppers you get to immerse yourselves in that rockin’ feelin’. Think of us as ‘rockin the blues’ if you must, cos that’s the way we roll!†– Roy Phillips - vocals
