The Blow Monkeys have been announced as the Main Stage Sunday night headliners for Lechlade Festival. 

The new-wave 80’s band blazed an iconic trail across the 1980's, led by the charismatic singer songwriter Robert Howard (aka Dr Robert). Last year, Cherry Red Records successfully re-issued the band’s first 2 albums with a special “deluxe edition” of the iconic “She Was Only A Grocer’s Daughter” from 1987.

Complete with unreleased demos and bountiful remixes, the album features some of the band’s biggest hits including the UK top 5 “It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way” plus the BBC banned “Celebrate (The Day After You)” recorded with the late, great Curtis Mayfield.

They continue their success with the critically acclaimed album "Feels Like A New Morning" and a string of dates over the summer, including Lechlade Festival.

With all four original members and the wind in their sails, The Blow Monkeys are a "must see" band right now.  Playing songs from a career that spans three decades they continue to surprise, sparkle and evolve.
