Exeter Phoenix, 8.30pm-midnight, £10.50

A veritable melee of musical styles are all evident within the 3 Daft Monkeys' music - a unique brand of rousing vocals, frenetic fiddling, 12-string guitar, dancing bass and foot drum produce a sound far too diverse to be pigeonholed into one genre. They create a stunning blend of upbeat, danceable music which, despite all its world influences, remains undeniably British. Whatever your taste in music, 3 Daft Monkeys offer something special and their unique blend of high octane, funked-up folk is guaranteed to get you dancing!
