Jig (noun) a rapid, lively, springy, irregular dance for one or more persons. An-tic (noun) a playful trick or prank. This is possibly all you need to know about the Jigantics. Joining us for our Sunday evening Concert, this 4 piece band is a fabulous fusion of Blues, Rock, Folk and Americana!
Born and bred in (well, he’s not sure where) Joshua Burnell learned at an early age that ‘home’ could be found in music, rather than a place. An upbringing on the move led to a cross-pollination of styles, stories and influences which Joshua distils into his own contemporary sound. As a self-professed album artwork addict, Joshua’s work delivers a dose of escapism and entertainment in equal measure, from the artwork through to the last note.
