About the show
The Dubious Brothers first got together in Malmesbury nearly 40 years ago – and have been delighting audiences across the South West ever since. Now it’s time for one last hurrah!
This special farewell gig will see the band reunited with some former members, revisiting favourites from their extensive back catalogue and celebrating four decades of music, mayhem and good times.
Expect original songs, old-school rock ’n’ roll, and plenty of great covers – including classics from Bob Dylan and the Travelling Wilburys.
Come along, sing along, and give The Doobs the send-off they deserve!
Featuring - Dubious Brothers
The cult 80s anarchic music hall act, The Dubious Brothers have reformed after 24 years. Between 1986 and 1990 they amazed and bewildered audiences all over Europe with their anarchic satirical Pre War sound and spectacular theatrical stage show. Whilst the band played a heady mix of music hall foxtrots, tangos and waltzes, surreal Greek dancing surgeons flung them selves into the frenzied audience whilst ghostly victorian gentlemen rode strange upside down bicycle machines on stage. The set was reminiscent of both the misty docks of Victorian London and the inventing room of Chitty Chitty Bang Bangs' Caractacus Potts.
Although their dance music looked firmly backwards in time , the lyrics were rich in biting modern political satire. "The Dog ate My Poll Tax Form" and What A Lovely Day For A Hunt Sabotage" were particular fan favourites and The Dubious Brothers took particular delight in mocking the British Establishment. No Judge or Freemason was safe from their gaze.
