About Me

The Zen Hussies
Dutifully administering original swing, stomp and boogie at clubs, pubs, festivals and speakeasys since 2001.
Renowned for their 'stamina sapping, effervescent live performances', The horn heavy Hussies will have even the most troubled of feet flailing in the aisles and singing along to their uniquely catchy brand of song and dance. Why not adorn your most dandy attire, and fasten those braces for a memorable evening with The West Countrys' Most Exclusive Drinking Club...
Coming soon to a dancehall near you!
