My tin monkey

My tin monkey is a lively Southwest band known for their energetic performances and eclectic setlists that blend Irish and English folk, punk, and party classics. Formed after the dissolution of a previous group, The Minty Squirrel, founding members Bart and Ger, who is now Laurence, decided to continue their musical journey, focusing on delivering foot-tapping, bawdy pub music to enthusiastic audiences across the country. The addition of Daisy Hart on fiddle completed the trio, bringing a vibrant Irish influence and helping to shape the band’s distinctive sound.The band’s reputation is built on their ability to create a fun, inclusive atmosphere at every event, whether it’s a festival, wedding, or local pub night. My tin monkey’s performances are characterised by their infectious energy and crowd engagement - winning over audiences with both well-loved covers and spirited renditions of traditional tunes. Their approach is refreshingly unpretentious, focusing less on polished choreography and more on authentic musicality and audience enjoyment.Over the years, My tin monkey has played at a range of venues and festivals, including Tewkesbury Live, Castle Roc at Chepstow Castle, Solva Festival, and the Green Gathering, along with countless other celebrations and race days. Their adaptability and broad repertoire make them a popular choice for anyone looking to get people dancing and singing along. With glowing testimonials from event organisers and guests alike, My tin monkey continues to be a highlight wherever they perform, ensuring every show is memorable and full of joy.
