"The Elasticated Waste Band are a London-based eight piece acoustic band. A raggle-taggle, travelling minstrel ensemble of Banjo pickers, Howlin' Slim Harmonica Lickers, ukelele flickers, Fiddle diddlers, crooners, swooners that all make for a veritable old-timey, medicine show of a freaky, Louisianna style rag-time Punk-Band!
Their sound is a drunken but majestic pile-up of pre-war blues, show tunes, hillbilly ska, foot-stompin' bluegrass and classic pop which will leave you grinning from ear to ear. They'll have you singin’ your heart out and dancing your feet off - a good time is guaranteed!"
