What do get when you cross an Englishman, a Welshman, a Russian, and a guy who’s not quite sure where he’s from?  This definitely isn’t the start of a joke, but the forming of CIRCUS 66.

CIRCUS 66 is a rock band bursting with funk infused blues, & shaken up with a dose of classic rock overtones.  This band is the brainchild of guitarist, Matt & bassist, Tom, whose paths crossed in university in 2012. For 3 years the band performed as a 3-piece, cultivating a wide musical fan base due to their musicianship and energetic live shows.

Enjoying success on the release of their second EP in 2015 whilst being signed to The Animal Farm record label, the band supported the likes of The Wild Lies, Sons of Icarus, Massive Wagons and The Dust Coda.

A lineup change in 2016/17 saw the band reinventing themselves musically and as a 4-piece with the addition of groove based drummer, Major and powerhouse vocalist, Annabelle. With Annabelle’s presence, image, attitude and having “the voice”, Matt and Tom felt they had finally found the missing piece of the band.

During 2017, the band recorded a number of songs with Producer/Engineer Adam Whalley (Slash, Richie Sambora, Zakk Wylde, Big Boy Bloater, Wille and the Bandits) which will be released as an EP in April 2018.
Combining sterling musicianship and dominant vocals with a soulful flare, the new EP caters to a wide range of listeners, to fans old and new.
