This exciting live band from Greatest Manchester/Salford is headed up by the acid-skiffle, ukulele-playing CP Lee, founder member of satirical Rock band Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias. Also in the Sheiks is the Albertos' guitar maestro John Scott, and playing alongside them are Gary 'National' Atkinson, Bob 'Ragin' Cajun' Dickinson and Dave 'bass player to the stars' Lunt. Their fizzy blend of swinging harmonies, laugh-out-loud comedy and toe-tapping rhythms brings joy to all who surrender to their sultry sounds ... Quotes from a Sheiks’ review, ‘lovably unhinged’, ‘disparate bunch’, ‘ageing as disgracefully as possible' ...
