If you enjoy some Flamenco, Rumba Catalana, Native Americana & African Roots music you'll really enjoy these guys.Ikarumba consist of Simon Crockett (Spanish Guitar) Conor Madden (Rhythm Guitar), Jerry Warren (Bass Guitar), Ben Crockett (Cajon & Percussion) & Christian Walden (Drums) Jason Lee (Photography/Video & Martin Daley (Video & Sound)The band emerged about a year ago and have wowed audiences ever since with their amazing style of Flamenco, Rumba Catalan, Native Americana & African Roots music. These guys will carry you into the night dancing on a journey through Flamenco, Rumba Catalan, Native Americana, and African Roots… A journey which began years ago for Guitar Master Simon Crockett.

Returning from Peru in 1961, Simon’s dad brought home and taught him a Peruvian Huayño (see Video) the first song Simon learnt and soon Spanish Guitar became his ticket for years of travelling, learning melodies, techniques and cultural kinships. While busking on the cobbles of Avignon’s ‘Pope’s Palace’, Simon was spotted, then, invited to join a session with none other than the Gypsy Kings and family. We are so looking forward to hosting Ikarumba and hope you have the night off to come and dance to some groovy tunes with or without socks!
