CC Smugglers are on a rapid rise that has elicited plaudits from critics and audiences alike, boasting Seasick Steve, Bob Harris and Cerys Matthews amongst their legion of fans.
With a host of sold out venues and headline stealing gigs at Cambridge, Cornbury and Glastonbury Festivals under their belts - as well as playing further afield at some of Europe’s biggest festivals - this 6-piece outfit from Bedfordshire play good, original music with showmanship, swagger and suave.
