The SOMBRERO SOUND SYSTEM are the resident DJs for Sunday Best and Bestival...
Duncan Turner and Jonny Bain had been throwing parties and generally larking about the London scene, and beyond, for several years before their like-minded ear for a great tune (no matter what genre) and their search for the ultimate knees-up-mother-brown brought them together – and Sombrero was born. The years since have seen them rock numerous parties across the globe and become resident DJs for Sunday Best and Bestival.
Recent highlights include warming up for Amy Winehouse on the main stage of Bestival 2008 and for Mark Ronson at both of the 2008 Bandstand events. Plus playing to a packed Bollywood Tent at Bestival 2006, 2007 and 2008, a chock-a-block Igloo(!) at Snowbombing 2007, the 2005/6 Bestival Lido Parties were a proper hoot and each and every Sunday Best party at the Lock Tavern in Camden has left them with huge smiles across their bristly chops.
They have also had the honour of playing at Snowbombing 2002/3/4/5/6/7/8, Glastonbury 2005/7, The Secret Garden Party Festival 2006, Beachbombing 2004/6, Homelands 2004, Ibiza 2003, Stick It On (Brighton) 2006/7, Bugged Out! 2004, Notting Hill Carnival 2004/8, The Cathouse 2005/6, Fuerzabruta at the Roundhouse 2006 and Mask of the Red Death (Punch Drunk Production) at Battersea Arts Centre 2007 … plus virtually every Sunday Best / Bestival party in the last 6 years.
...so there.
