THE GARIBALDI LIVE PRESENTS

 

The Garibaldi Matinee APPEAL

A Message From Liane Carroll

The Garibaldi Matinee needs your help! We seems to have fallen on some rocky economic ground, with the Saturday & Sunday afternoon gigs struggling to balance the books. A combination of rising running costs and an ongoing cost-of-living crisis is making it increasingly challenging for us, and we are forced to seek additional funding in order to keep the matinee afloat. (Read More)

The Excellos

PLEASE SUPPORT THE EVENT - BUY A RAFFLE TICKET

The Excellos are London. UK based band formed in 2009, named after and influenced with Excello Records, the premier American Swamp Rock Blues Record label in the 50’s. The Excellos are originally a 3 piece band. From time to time guest musicians have appeared on Recordings and Live shows.

Stompin' Rockabilly and Blues Bop played hard and dirty! The Excellos deliver a solid brand of Rockin' Blues that'd be rough, tough and hard to bluff for any other band raised this side of the pond. Gaining their name from the famous 1950s American Blues record label, they play with the authority and gusto of a blues band that grew straight out of the Mississippi mud.
These guys have been wowing crowds at many Blues and Rock 'n' Roll joints the world over. 

Playing both classic Excello Swamp rock and original swamp rock with Excello Roots. Unlike most bands who’s original’s can’t match their influence’s covers, The Excellos originals exceed them! Quite simply they are "The Beatles of Swamp Rock". The Excellos are straight out of a 1950s drive-in movie or TV series, battling zombies and supernatural geeks. Check out those incredible Sideburns!

Although admired for his superlative live performances and mastery of the keyboard, Greg’s heart lies firmly within song-writing, and he manages to seamlessly weave the sounds of his influences - Steely Dan, Randy Newman, Little Feat, Ray Charles, Booker T and Dr John - into his material. No doubt, Greg will be joined by some of the finest musicians in the UK for this Christmas Eve spectacular.
