JONATHAN MARKWOOD’S HOO-HAA CONSPIRACY

QUAYSIDE STAGE - MONDAY 26 AUGUST

Jonathan Markwood's Hoo-Hah Conspiracy peddle a diverse melange of internationally award winning music traversing pop to rock via rhythm and blues, ska, funk, rockabilly and more, with comparisons to Bowie via Blur, Chic, Talking Heads, Pixies, Ian Dury and a touch of Edward Lear.

Their quirky, whimsical, blackly humorous story-based songs invite you to follow the lives, loves and outrageous fortunes of an eccentric coterie of characters. The biggest dilemma? Whether to listen with rapt attention to the black-humoured narrative tales or dance to the spine tingling music!
