Gypsy punk lunatics with a taste for the macabre. Festival veterans, regularly appearing at some of the UK's biggest festivals, including Glastonbury (2013), Bestival (2013) Secret Garden Party (2011 - 2013) and Boomtown (2011 - 2013), as well as live performances on BBC Introducing, Buffos Wake will grab you, and leave you dancing like a man possessed. Guaranteed to raise hell!


'Storming gypsy bangers! Twisting folk with a heavy smattering of pounding gypsy dance music – while very new to the scene, Buffos Wake work the crowd like pros, jumping, dancing and bringing you headfirst into the world of eastern European madness – we love them! Sounds Like: the gate has swung shut behind you at the abandoned fairground.'
- Playgroup Festival 2011


'Fascinatingly dark and twisted, and full of energy!'
- Simon Price (BBC Introducing & Music Journalist for The Independent)


'You may recall a desolate band of misfits in Tim Burton’s 'Nightmare Before Chirstmas' that popped up every now and then with musical interludes of damp and haunting melodies that were, in their own way, quite captivating.
Well Buffo’s Wake’ have a very similar allure; that is intriguing violins and erratic accordions, both utterly besmirched with wonderfully gloomy undertones and lingering vocals.'
- Boomtown Fair


'Combining fast-paced folk, carnivalesque humour, lewd tango and gypsy intricacies into a highly energetic, gleefully anarchic explosion. As influenced by the grime and darkness of Nick Cave as they are by Balkan folk and Ukrainian hooligans Gogol Bordello, Buffo's Wake delight in sudden gear shifts, baffling non-sequiturs and a healthy sense of the absurd, and are undoubtedly the perfect accompaniment to an evening of knees-up silliness, preferably having consumed an obscene quantity of cider.
Come and have a go if you think you've got the stamina!'
- Electric Harmony
