Album description

Co-led by Paul Bradley - late of Eastenders (remember Nigel) and currently starring in Holby City, and Stephen Warbeck, Oscar winner for the score to Shakespeare in Love, hKippers is the band in which surreal humour meets the British folk-world scene.

'Music from klezmer to country to Celtic, including some of Britain's finest jazz musicans and the likes of the drummer from The Pogues. The music is composed by Stephen Warbeck, recently awarded an Oscar for the score of Shakespeare In Love!'

'A band of friends who claim to play a fusion of jazz-folk and world music but still tackle anything that seems like fun.' (Phil Daoust – The Guardian)
