Los Dedos
Wild, rockin’ instrumental surf from Bristol UK. These guys were twanging all around Glastonbury back in June on Shangrila’s Truth stage, Glastonbury On Sea (The Pier) and at the legendary Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues ! They’ve been championed by Gideon Coe on Radio 6 and have a sound that is guarenteed to beam you straight onto the Pulp Fiction dancefloor.
