A
gig
held at The Golden Lion
on Friday 7th July. The event starts at 21:00pm.
Barbarella's Bang Bang take the audience on a fantasy journey into a musical world about puppets, gypsies, clowns and lost children. Formed by actor and dancer Barbarella Pugliese, who searched for classically trained musicians with a deep knowledge of European gypsy folk to paint a back ground for her carnivalistic stories, the band are both aurally and visually tantalising to all ages. Her team of musicians, which include a clown playing cajon who cries at the sorrowful parts of the songs, are as mesmerising as Barbarella herself who through singing and dance immerses you into their bohemian world.
The band's first ever performance was at the infamous Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, a packed show based on word of mouth. Since then they have toured Europe form Italy and Romania to their homes in the city of London where they firm favourites. It's thought that Barbarella is perhaps the UK's if not world's best kazoo player......
