Keep them dancing.



That’s the ethos that The Rin Tins have kept since their inception in early 2011 and since then the quintet have dedicated themselves to bringing folk fueled jazz jive boogie to the Bristol scene. 
They’ve been called the ‘definable Bristolian party band’ by South West music legend Cozzie O’Cozfunkel, were 'the people's choice'  at Shambala 2014 and described as ‘splendid gypsy rockabilly’ by The Zen Hussies own Jules Landau. 
With music that combines dark folk tales with swing jazz rhythms and pounding oompa beats, for the past year The Rin Tins have been filling dance floors across Bristol. 
Their debut album ‘Tales of Pride & Shame is available on Itunes, Amazon and Spotify and the follow-up, 'One More Roll of the Dice' was released in October, 2014.
