The Bourbon Traders are a skiffle act who have been vagabonding around the UK for 3 years, stalking Brighton’s local watering holes monthly with residencies around the city. Swinging their way through churches, beautiful weddings, club nights, festivals, corporate parties, diners and dives; the band are the perfect choice for those looking for something special.

The Bourbon Traders play anything from the obvious, the unusual and the surprisingly modern. With a back catalogue booming full of 50-60s Rock ‘n’ Roll and R ‘n’ B classics side by side with old school hip hop, pop hits, original tracks and 90s nostalgia. The Brighton based group serve up all kinds of songs straight off the grill with a side of swing and a skiffle dressing.

The band also pride themselves on their shape shifting ability, they’re able to scrub up for a wedding or scrub down for a club night.
