Band Members: Having a show, a laugh, and having a night out with the audience, is wot it's all about to us. People have tried to describe us, but unable to provide an answer. I will attempt now to give an indication...We improvise like a jazz band - no gig is the same; we have a 1960's psychedelic vibe, add to this a flavour of punk and DIY attitude, pump in some energy of techno, sprinkle a little funk and Northern Soul, wrap it all up and deliver with a heavy influence from Jamaica and Africa - and possibly that's it (depends on each night)............Ade (Garibaldi) - vox, blue beat style rhythm guitar ..........Jim Gaffney - Bass...........Seannie G - lead and rhythm guitar, backing vox,...............Rodders - keyboards..............Big Al - drums ............Grif-sax.......... many many honary members too many to mention but thanks. Fuzz is on drums for Dancin in Mornin. Garibaldies was set-up in 1996 to fund raise money for aid to Bosnia (known as the Hong Kong Fuoeey Super Stars), since then (under many names such as Unidentified or Gondwanaland) it has carried on raising money for Survival International, Tree Spirit, local hospitals and countless charities and causes.
Influences: Africa. Jamaica. Indiginous peoples. Blue beat/ska/old dance hall, and sukous, jit and tribal music from across the world. World music. BaaBa Maal. Gong. The Rude Boys (Bluebeat Man Dubadub). Hawkwind. Modern Dance music, happiness and good vibes. The BIGGEST INFLUENCE has been our AUDIENCES over the years especially Bishop's Castle, The Vaults - who not only named us the Garibaldies, but also influeneced us to be nutters on stage and have a good laf.
Sounds Like: We are quite incomparable. A must hear experience. We have been described as being in the zone. We are very much a live band and will play around with energy levels - depending on crowd and our state; we can slip into dance music energy, slowly building up songs into pumping climaxes. Or just fumble around like we all do once in a while.
