The Austin Francis Connection (a.k.a. The AFC) are a band bringing a groovy, relaxed form of acoustic hip-hop suitable for both you and your mum!

A three piece hailing from Gloucester / Nottingham, The Austin Francis Connection consists of Edi Johnston - a genius MC and student of rhyme, Hobbit a young beatbox talent who provides both drum and bass for the group -and Mark Finney - a talented acoustic guitarist who rounds off the sound of the band.

The AFC have garnered a lot of support through touring and playing at numerous festivals across the UK including Godiva, Wychwood, H3, NthFest and Greenbelt. With a unique and original sound, great personalities and stage presence like a bear on a unicycle drinking a large cup of tea the Austin Francis Connection are certainly a band to watch over the next few years...

The AFC are currently holed up in the studio working on songs for their long awaited first album proper. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
