A breath taking collection of rogues and misfits surfing a tidal wave of horns, fiddles and guitars
So enter the big top and be immersed in the winding world of the hurdy-gurdy, the sonorous land of the tuba and the exotic realm of the duduk. Be ready to be engulfed by a wall of mesmerizing virtuosity and a whirlwind of frenzied dancing!The Destroyers are - Leighton Hargreaves – fiddle, Sam Wooster – trumpet, Aaron Diaz – trumpet, Rob Spalton –trumpet, Rich Shrewsbury – trombone, Mark Davis – tuba. Gaz Jones – clarinet, Max Gittings - flutes and whistles and bagpipes, Dave Adams - accordion/vocals, Jamie Fekete - acoustic guitar, Dan Wilkins - electric guitar, Nick Jurd - bass guitar, Tim Bowes – drums. Their declared influences are - Boban Markovic, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Taraf de Haidouks, Andy Statman, Dave Tarras, The Bothy Band, Frank Zappa, Tom and Jerry.
The Destroyer’s turbo-MegaFolk-thrash-punk-pop-poetry-fancydress’orama was wildly expressed with the release of their Vortex ep, which captures and converts their live energy. The title track Vortex Cannon is a groove-laden anthem. iSpy is a 21st Century moral fable on the dangers of government internet surveillance, shot through with upbeat carnivalesque madness. The ep follows their two acclaimed albums – Out of Babel and Hole in the Universe. Celebrating their tenth year together The Destroyers have developed a unique show that combines madcap energy and immense musical virtuosity that has taken them to Glastonbury Festival and also seen them receive support from Sky Arts and various BBC shows.
