Orphans Cabaret is an eclectic band with an eclectic sound. It is dark cabaret music spinning original tales of betrayal, madness, and anarchy, all with a giggle at reality.

Improviser, Actor, Radio, and other stuff...

Margot Escargot are Dorset based purveyors of traditional English guitar rock, strong on melody, universal lyric and the odd surprise for those who crave it. They believe in real songs being written and performed by real people on real instruments. 

"A talent show semi-finalist sitting in a room somewhere, having a song written for him, hopefully getting coke blown up his asshole, has nothing to do with music. No one has an acoustic guitar out, trying to write a middle eight. We are writing that middle 8 right now."

Formed in 2014 initially as a songwriting experiment between Steve Butler (singing) and Jamie Pinnow (electric bass) who drafted in drummer Rick Veall, a hugely in demand drummer in Dorset and guitarists Peter Roberts and Andrew Hurst. The two guitarists play both rock and classical as well as traditional stringed instruments such as lute and mandolin, and ethnic instruments such as sitar between them. Lucy Hackett, on keys and vocals, is a professional music teacher in Dorset schools, musical director for stage productions and all-round sweetie. 

Out of this confetti of musical differences emerged a sound that combines The Beatles with the Beach Boys, the Kinks with The Who, while also managing to include progressive elements reminiscent of Yes and Genesis. 

Margot Escargot are releasing the single When You Were My Girl on The Animal Farm on (date)

Someone WAS once 'your girl' and her current lifestyle might make you want to puke with regret, and we have all 'laughed until we've cried.. until the stitches fray and fall away..' 

It's only life eh? And life can only be sung about by those who've lived it.

WALKING THAT DARKER PATH…

A raggle, taggle fourteen piece band in a world of Zombie Burlesque and Voodoo Circus…

Emerging from the dark depths of the sewers of London, Rattlin Bone walk that darker path…

'The Rattlin Bone Theatre Show' is currently being written and produced by Wily Bo Walker and a double album and theatre show will be available in 2021

In the meantime keep safe and wash your hands!

The blues styling of Denise Peachey's Gypsy Piano Blues has been said to liven up the Avenue in the November 2009 performance series in the Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh. A proud native Pittsburgher, Denise has released three CDs, appeared on the "Code Pearl" tribute CD to Janis Joplin (of which the proceeds were donated to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts), and has played for the Baltimore Jazz & Blues Festival and the Federal Hill Jazz & Blues Fest with her former band Gypsy & Crazy Moon. Peachey has received radio play on Bzoo Homegrown Radio, Pitt Radio, Crossfire Radio, Fat Cat Radio and Nette Radio and has also gotten airplay in Australia, France and England.
(*Gypsy plays piano-and sings...all parts on recordings piano-lead rythym and bass are played straight on piano, not programmed..drums on drum machine are created live for each recording except when not using drum machine)

Gypsy Piano Blues,I play piano blues and Gypsy was a nickname many moons ago and I put it together..but Gypsy Piano Blues does mean,piano jazz..swing..traditional..blues..roots..so in a fated way it still fits together like peices in a puzzle...
