3 Daft Monkeys

Created in 2000 by Tim Ashton (b. 21 March 1970, Bradford, Western Yorkshire, Britain; vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion, whistle), Athene Roberts (b. 15 Sept 1971, Northampton, Northamptonshire, Britain; fiddle, vocals) and High Mulryne (drums, percussion), 3 Daft Monkeys are eventually seen as a folk trio, however their astonishingly varied range of affects render genre pigeonholing extremely difficult. Their main motivation musically is apparently the Cornish and Celtic folk music customs of their used home region Cornwall, in the south-west of Britain. They combine this with additional world folk designs, such as for example Balkan and Gypsy, as well as dance and reggae rhythms. Given that they created in 2000 the music group has produced some EPs and live albums on the 3DM record label, with Jamie Waters (b. 7 Sept 1974, Southampton, Hampshire, Britain; bass) changing Mulryne from your debut Brouhaha onwards. In Dec 2004 the trio released their ‘proper’ debut recording Hubbadillia, also independently label. Without the financial support, the band offers relied solely on person to person to publicise their recordings, and a virtually nonstop worldwide touring routine. Their electrifying, high-octane concert events, either at a significant event or in a little regional pub, are something they consider great satisfaction in, plus they invariably possess the entire masses, big or little, dance to them. The recording, which has offered steadily, continues to be extremely acclaimed by folk music critics, and offers received airplay on BBC Radio 2.
