King Courgette

King Courgette is an old-time vegetable string band grown from seed by Poppa Courgette on his allotment in the Clifton Delta area of York. With String Bean Slim, Bad Apple Curtis, Hot Chilli McGrath and featuring Zucchini Bill (Billy Hickling from Stomp) on bones.

Bringing banjos, ukuleles, violin, washboard and a whole lot more, King Courgette play bluegrass, blues and Appalachian Folk Music, mostly in the pubs and muddy fields of Yorkshire and beyond. Come along and be part of the rhythm section.
