Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams
Playing an utterly unique blend of rock &
roll, folk, and quirky Americana, Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of
Dreams have been called "the hillbilly Pink Floyd," which is an apt
description, particularly if you throw in elements of Tom Petty & the
Heartbreakers, the Band, and maybe even some Frank Zappa too. The band taps a
broad palette of styles ranging from dusty Americana ballads to huge cinematic
anthems. Known for electrifying live performances and a down-to-earth
connection to audiences, the group delivers a quirky, versatile, and
good-humoured show and has built a large and loyal fan following.

fantastic career now remarkably spanning 5 decades. They have devised a
‘special’ solo concert, which will appeal to all ages. It is a highly
entertaining concert which has been enthusiastically and warmly received

explaining the history of his many different guitars. Be prepared for beautiful
compositions that cross all musical genres, wit, charm and unbelievable
talent. Well known for his
collaborations with other artists and his work for both the BBC and commercial

programme. Gordon continues to delight his audiences and no two concerts are
ever the same.
