London-based world music heroes East of Ealing feature the dynamic electric fiddle playing of Stephanie Graffiti. On electric and acoustic guitar is Mik Parker; Jim Bean and Paul Castle provide the kick-ass bass and rhythm that fuel an E.O.E gig. At times, political, irreverent, humorous with state of the nation lyrics, but always foot-stompin'dancey, an E.O.E gig swiftly becomes a world party. From Cajun to Celtic, Russian to Reggae, Skiffle to Ska , NewTwist to Township grooves the band cross musical styles and continents convincingly, filling the dance floor from the first number. "Guaranteed to take your head round the world and feet to the dance floor" (Events London) "A global storm of musical mayhem...take yer dancin' boots !" (Time Out) " Fiery fiddle-driven Brit-folk " (West meets East)
