The Zen Hussies
The inimitable Zen Hussies have been dutifully administering original goodtime 'swingska boogaloo' at pubs, clubs, weddings, wakes, boat-bailings, bah-mitzvahs, house clearances, festies & coffee mornings in Europe and beyond, since 2001, recently they were awarded the dubious title of the West Countrys' Most Exclusive Drinking Club. The Zen Hussies are renowned for their effervescent live shows, and indeed infamous via their legendary 5 hour sets at Shambala festival in 2003/4.
