2 Daft Monkey

3 Daft Monkeys headlined our first Blue Moon festival and have played regularly since, we always love to Welcome Tim and Athene.

Athene Roberts is a performer and composer with her own colourful and energetic style. Her musical compositions draw influences from many styles of music and have been used on BBC documentaries, independent films and theatre shows. She has frequently been invited onstage by the Levellers to perfom the ‘fiddle-off’ with John Sevink and has been the leader of the urban gypsy orchestra for The People’s String Foundation. She has played on many studio albumns, most notably for Hawkwind.

Lyricist and songwriter Tim Ashton cut his teeth in punk and psychobilly, then went on to form cult psychedelic rock band, Moondragon before finally becoming the charismatic frontman of 3 Daft Monkeys. His compositions have been used in many films and documentaries and he has recorded lead vocals on tracks by The Changing Room and whistle for Zetan Spore. He has also guested live onstage with the Levellers and The People’s Sting Foundation.
