THE FLOOZIES

 

The Floozies are: Daisy Windsor, guitar and vocals. Paula Welham:sax and flute. Sue Szymanski:bodhran and ethnic percussion. Based in Suffolk, The Floozies play mainly original acoustic material with unusual combinations of instruments. If you like Eddie Reader, Beth Orton, Karine Polwart then this is the band for you. The Floozies are well known for their energetic contemporary folk, melting sensitive lyrics with cool jazzy riffs and ethnic percussion. Following the success of their first CD, they have recorded and released their CD; Dragonfly. This was launched after some fantastic support and air play on Radio Suffolk(thank you Steven Foster). It includes, after many requests to record it "The Fat Song". If you like your food, and can never get enough:) this is the song for you.

"Acoustic music at it's very best. Great playing and beautiful harmonies with the songs to match. A real breath of fresh air on the roots scene. " Stephen Foster BBC Radio Suffolk.
