The Jelly Royale

About Me

They write about our wrongs, joys, and thrills:
in a world sedated on possessions and pills.
Drum’n’ bass-led funk-punk-hip-hop-ska jelly served on a plate,
slightly more appealing than that steak you just ate.
Knockin' out pedal powered tunes without the grid in sight,
bit-by-bit ending new-age silver spoon mouth blight.
Playing from the back of an ambulance,
sometimes just to a one-man audience.
It might have been them at Pink Festival or Romsey Sessions,
hopefully not too wasted to make good impressions.
"A musical mixed bag which is as pleasing on the ear as jelly and ice cream on the tongue." - Jez Sallis, BBC radio Cambridgeshire
