HURLY BURLY
Definition: boisterous activity, tumultuous, commotion, uproar. William shakespeare
Hurly Burly are a riot of originals — a Brighton-based cowpunk firecracker laced with a ska. This high-octane four-piece delivers toe-tapping, hand-clapping, thigh-slapping chaos in the best possible way. Think infectious ear-worm melodies, razor-sharp lyrics, and hooks that refuse to leave your brain.
Their set is a gloriously eclectic ride — bold, witty, and bursting with personality. They tackle life’s big questions (and the ridiculous bits in between) with swagger, heart, and a hefty dose of electric energy. It’s smart. It’s loud. It’s wildly entertaining.
After reforming in 2024 following a relocation, Hurly Burly came back tighter, sharper, and louder than ever. Past highlights include headlining The Guildford Beer Festival in 2022, multiple Brighton Fringe appearances, and supporting Toploader during one of their many sun-soaked summer shows.
