‘The Don Bradmans come across like a 21st-Century Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, with added festival kudos. It’s upbeat music with humour, aided by some great playing (including the immense Ben Jones of Twelve Stone Toddler) and an easy-going stage manner. They call it Chap Rock - I say: good work, gents!’

Hello and welcome to The Don Bradmans page!
We're the chaps who bring you the comedy boost at festivals, often seen running from one gig to the next in granny outfits with chain mail armour clutching a stiff gin and tonic to ward off the flies.
We are to be found in sunny Brighton often hiding under rocks until the sun is high which has led to speculation that we are cold blooded lizards. Not strictly true this, it has more to do with our often over indulgences in the gentlemen's club.
We like to play music that makes people laugh. We have no strict rules about musical styles in the band but we have been described as 'Chap Rock' which we kind of liked so we are running with it.
We were born into life at The Big Green Gathering in 2002 where Don Ukelele and Don Guitar Bradman became the unofficial backing band for a girl called Jill. Unfortunately her whereabouts are now unknown but we continue the search. Soon we went on to serenade people as waiters with musical menus at Beautiful Days Festival, Big Green Gathering, Small World, Hairth Of Knockrach in Scotland. We particularly like to entertain gate crews at festivals because they look lonely at night.
It was at this time that Don Drummer Bradman became involved: he was enticed out of hiding with a stick and the band was formed. Now the line up involves six Dons and we have been seen playing at festivals to farmers' markets, bars to birthdays and houses to hen nights up and down the country.
We have one album available so far entitled "Ah'll Flamin' Well Kill Ya!" and are working on a second release to put all those other songs on that didn't make it onto the first.
If you would like to book us for an event you can contact us here too and we will come and play.
And remember as Trevor Howard would say 'Never trust anything without a cork in it!'
'The Don Bradmans - a popular Brighton band –they’ll get you dancing if you don’t fall over laughing!'

'We split our sides at their original and eccentric brand of humour. The Don Bradmans style will eventually be copied by others - originators of note. Excellent musicianship - this album will have everyone dancing.
Highly recommended.'www.realfestivalmusic.co.uk
