Strategic Direction 1.2

Biggles have been around a long time and are undoubtedly the leading exponents of jug band music in the UK. Comedy is the order of the day with lots of corny gags, musical and otherwise.

Band members

Biggles Wartime Band is (usually) a four-piece band.

Jok sings and plays kazoo, trombone, garden hose, tool box, zob stick and anything else that he can blow, bang or suck.

Dave sings and plays guitar and one man band.

Graham is the world banjo champion; he can throw a banjo further than anyone else!

Fiddle Castro plays the fiddle and has three times won the national bluegrass fiddle championship.

Biggles were formed way back in the heady flower power years of the late sixties and have been entertaining audiences in various ways and with different line-ups ever since. Three of the current line-up and most of the jokes have been with the band since the beginning.

Biggles have played at innumerable festivals to wide acclaim, most notably, three times at Glastonbury. There have been several TV and radio appearances but the band has never played at a Barmitzvah.
