Mad Apple Circus is an original blend of horn-fuelled styles, built on Ska/Hip-Hop/Jazz and Latin grooves – nothing but the good stuff. Owing to their unique sound and energetic performances, this hard-hitting humble Bristolian nine-piece have fast become festival favourites and a popular choice among promoters in the UK and Europe. Since bounding into the underground music scene and forging a presence of their own, MAC have been busy sharing stages with some of the industry’s finest. Notable greats include UB40, The Beat, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, The Skints, Suburban Legends and Hot 8 Brass Band. The launch of their debut Self-Titled album in 2015 saw the band reach new heights. As well as making appearances on local radio shows, their music started receiving airtime across England and abroad and in turn primed the continent for their European tour. Priding themselves as upbeat and what can only be described as an engaging display of jumping musical fusion, the thirst for the Apple’s juice never seems to quench. Already having ticked off slots at a whole host of festivals, last year alone they set crowds alight at Secret Garden Party, Sunrise, BoomTown Fair, Beautiful Days, Symmetry Festival and Glastonbury to mention but a few. With a honed ambition to continually enrich their music all the while remaining true to their core, Mad Apple Circus have unquestionably set about creating their own distinctive sound which is suitable staging itself as BRISTONE!! …Goes well with cloudy cider.
