Roll up, roll up as quirky
festival area Riot Jazz returns bigger and more magical than ever before. Riot
Jazz is one of Kendal Callings best-loved areas that this year embraces the
festival fancy dress theme, Fairy Tales & Comic Books, and takes it to the
next level. Step into a real life festival fairytale with ‘The Great Puppet
Show’ that will transform a corner of the Kendal Calling fields with plenty of antics,
art installations, eye catching décor designs and a host of circus performers
& eclectic musicians. Riot Jazz brings an area of true escapism, it’s weird
and wonderful and full of hidden musical gems to discover.
Acts to grace the Riot Jazz
stage include: Riot Jazz Brass Band, The
WhiskyCats, Honeyfeet, Lauren Housley, Jonny Dub (DJ), Dirty North, Gogo
Penguin, New York Brass Band, Extra Love, The E.M.E, Nancy Kent, Lauren
Housley, Age Of Glass, Toe Rag, The Templebys, Thingumabob & The

The Riot Jazz Brass Band are
the artists in residence, the masters of ceremonies who ventured from their
arena and graced the main stage last year. Fronted by MC Chunky, the band has
performed across the globe from Finland to Croatia delivering high-octane
shows. As well as hosting the Riot Jazz area, the band have a debut album
coming soon that captures their unique talents in time for Summer.
Other highlights on the bill include Honeyfeet; who has been described as a songbird of her generation
with a full live band to support her electric sound. Also joining the bill is Lauren Housley, a bright artist from
Yorkshire who is redefining Northern Soul as she conjures a warm, organic
soundscape with a fresh, full voice that references Dusty Springfield with the
virility of Ray Charles.
Live favourites The Whisky Cats
make a welcome return to the festival, with their hazardous and original get
up. Their authentic sound and unique theatrical approach to performing has
prompted people into saying that they are one of the best live acts in the
country. Their sound is so diverse that ex-Blur bassist Alex James said Whisky
Cats 'don't sound like anyone else in the world'
Aside from
the music they’ll be a whole host of entertainment with performance art, circus
troupes and vaudeville amusements. Riot Jazz is a true trip into a land of
legend and fairytales, where costumes and decor transform reality, dusk turns
into dawn and strangers become friends. Immerse in this adult wonderland armed
with weapons of mass distraction.
Experience and hear something
new, Riot Jazz has landed.
Every Thursday there will be more news from Kendal
Calling with area news and line-up additions to the already stellar bill. See
you in the fields!
