High energy, unhinged, and musically extravagant, taking traditional acoustic idioms and delivering with punk abandonment and virtuosic flare. A dynamic three piece offering a unique sound emerging from Celtic, Gypsy Swing, Roma and Flamenco and tuned in savvy.

Wrapping pan european traditional acoustic music with infectious grooves, epic, pounding, sing along, punch the air anthems to intricately arranged instrumentals. 

Challenging the limitations of what people might expect acoustic instruments to sound like, the use of bowed harmonics between fiddle and bass can be as menacing and eerie as it can be psychedelic and mesmerising. 

Percussion provided by the front man Langan, whilst singing and driving the rythm guitar, he somehow co-ordinates the operating of a cajon and a tambourine with his feet bringing the driving, swinging groove of the rhythm guitar together with his foot percussion resulting in an impressively tight band sound with a tempo that is free to go anywhere. 

Add scorching hot fiddle lines and a guy thumping the groove out a double bass. 

If you're not dancing like a professional ostrich you get a refund.

Co-founder of The Banana Sessions (@thebananasessions).

As soon as Roberta (aka Bob) was old enough to walk, she used to take herself to bed with a Fisher Price cassette player every night and sing herself to sleep. She’s still singing to this day. She also writes songs, performs them on stage, and DJs when she gets bored of that. Originally from the land of Irn Bru, she has since made Bristol her forever home.
Singer, songwriter, DJ, and co-founder of the brilliantly weird Banana Sessions. Roberta Pia sings honest songs about the highs, the lows, humans, the world, and back in the day when jukeboxes weren’t shit. It all began with a broken heart and evolved into something much bigger than that. ‘It was like listening to excerpts from your diary.’ - Some guy, London
When she’s not singing or writing songs, you can find her behind the wheels of steel - channeling the likes of David Guetta or Paris Hilton - busting out 90s bangers, electro, retro, ghetto, house and techno, weird world music and big fat beats.
