With a sound located somewhere between the deep south and South Wales, The Rampart Street Ramblers play the rootsiest honky-tonk, zydeco, jazz, folk and R&B in London. They like nothing better than to play foot-stompin' tunes that you can dance the Texas polka to.
Regularly delighting audiences of all ages with their barnstorming acoustic sound, the full quartet line-up includes guitar and vocals, double bass, fiddle and accordion, though the band also sound great as a duo or trio. Their regular musicians are all experienced pros who have worked alongside stars such as Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, Bob Geldof, Nick Lowe, Loudon Wainright III, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Richard Thompson.
The Rampart Street Ramblers' large repertoire means that the band can turn their hand to many types of event. The band often play amplified but can also perform unplugged if needs be. If you're looking for a quartet to play rollicking 50s R&B and rock 'n' roll to get the room up and dancing then you've come to the right place. Equally, if you're looking for a duo or trio to provide a completely instrumental set of vintage jazz then The Rampart Street Ramblers fit the bill perfectly.
