Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs

The Godfathers of Skunk Rock - Skiffle Punk!

About Me

Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs, Creators of the musical genre Skunk Rock (more commonly refered to as Skunk) are one of the more unusual acts playing in the UK today. Basically a skiffle band who can skiffle almost anything (including The Pussycat Dolls!) but also a comedy band who will keep you laughing all night while enjoying their own brand of musical entertainment. They seem to make themselves at home anywhere they play; from the corner of a small pub to busking outside your shop to a large outdoor stage, it doesn't matter where this band play, they can adapt their act to fit any type of venue.
The band have supported The Levellers, Dr. & The Medics, Chas & Dave & Bad Manners, won the Maidstone Busker's Festival, played many weekend festivals including Run To The Sun, VW Expo, The Bath & West Bike Show, The Ragged Hedge Festival, The Endorse-It In Dorset Festival and Beautiful Days Festival.
Dressed in tattered suits and top hats, they grab your attention wherever they go and their tongue in cheek comedy & rock n roll skiffle and Skunk Rock will have you tapping your feet, laughing and singing along in no time.
