"Excellent in every way: an outfit and a voice that belong in smoke-filled gin-joints where the booze drips off the ceiling and love is left outside" Chris Hawkins BBC 6 music

Previously when Louis Barabbas and the Bedlam Six have thrown their infamous live shows in Star and Shadow the place has been filled with sweaty and lusty dancing, and now they are back! Time dig out your dancing shoes and feel the energy of these rascals!

Many believe that the number of love songs in the world far outstrip the number of things with which one can fall in love. That is why Louis Barabbas & The Bedlam Six are doing their very best to readdress the balance, penning twisted dirt-swing about lust and loathing, served up on an exuberant gobbet of malicious delight.

Stories about grieving lovers, thieving lovers and deceiving lovers seep from their songbook like a putrescent parade of painful parables. It's strangely beautiful - but not very. Expect to dance!

Holy Moly and the Crackers

They play a homebrew mix of whiskey galore sea shanties, hillbilly lullabies, bin-fire blues, gypsy dances and spectral soul-searching ballads; all played with a newness and honesty which is perhaps one of the keys to their popularity.
