Formed in early 2008, Cocos Lovers (pronounced Co-Koss), are an eight piece band from Deal on the Kent coast, who have the rather unique set-up of having husbands, wives, siblings and friends in the same group. 

Over the last two years they have gained a reputation for fantastic multi-instrumental performances combined with choir like harmonies. The music is heartfelt and pure combing traditional folk, African rhythms and strains of the Deep South.

They released their debut ‘Johannes’ last year too much critical acclaim and are currently in the studio producing their second album.  ‘Johannes’ was described by critics as ‘an album packed with traditional folk, off-kilter rhythms and glorious, widescreen melodies. It’s an album full of joyous curveballs that keeps you guessing, as banjos, violins, percussion, skin drums all work together beautifully against the group harmonies’.

Cocos Lovers have toured both the UK and Europe and supported a number  bands, as well as performing at their own sell-out shows. They are also a favourite on the festival circuit, with 2010’s roster including, amongst others Cambridge Folk Festival, Green Man Festival, Lounge on the Farm and Secret Garden Party. 2011 see's the band return to a number of these festivals, as well as appearances at Glastonbury, Kendall Calling, Sunrise and more.

“Cocos Lovers are children of the world, gentle travelers’ who seem to have had music strains stuck to their homespun jackets like pollen”
