In the Skirmisher

Lower Town Fishguard

For those of you who missed them at last year's festival, this is another chance to see Little Rumba. From the Welsh Marches, this band is one of the most extraordinary bands in Britain. The band writes all its own music and their style owes debts to Eastern Europe and South America as well as French Cafe jazz with some elements of blues. Recently a friend of theirs described their new album as being Tom Waits meets Tom Lehrer and indeed their music possesses both humour and haunting melancholy.

The band consists of four brilliantly talented muscians from very different musical backgrounds, John Hymas is a classical viola player, singer and guitarist Pete Mustill was part of the original R&B boom in the 60’s, Hugh Colvin is a jazz saxophonist and double bass player Jacqui Savage has provided the back beat for many blues bands in the Welsh Borders.
