3 piece band from Cornwall, playing live and looking to do more. Tracks recorded live, mixed & produced in our home built studio we call Mission Control.

Original post punk / new wave trio from Padstow, UK.
Formed in 2019 Skelper Quane have performed at several UK festivals as well as putting on their own nights at local venues in the South West of England. Soaring and sometimes intimate vocals and soulful guitar are paired with a tight, catchy, danceable rhythm section. All avid record collectors and fans they have a sound all of their own influenced by all sorts from the 60s to the present day.
They are hoping to record and release a debut album this year.

A true example of the ever present diversity in sound from the South West of England. Boasting an array of live instruments including Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Accordion, Synth Bass, Banjo, amongst others. Balkan, Gypsy, Ska and Reggae are some of the many genres that this eclectic band draw their musical mega sounds from. Their offbeat vibes are made for moving feet and causing raucous, rambunctious stomposity. Often causing feet to twitch in the most unlikely of people, they are never short of a lively and enthusiastic crowd.

Over the last year, Manushka has appeared at many unforgetable festivals and shows including Boomtown Fair, Sunrise, Balter and the international gypsy music bonanza known as Goulash Disko in Croatia. In between the festival shenanigans, the band have been booked as main support for some of their biggest influences such as Dunkelbunt, Electric Swing Circus, Babyhead and Gentleman’s Dub Club. All of this plus affiliations with Bristol’s Fat Hat Collective and Diplomats of Sound mean big things are looming on the horizon for Manushka.
