Secret Mighty Boosh Gig At The Big Chill House
On Friday June 6th, to a capacity crowd at The Big Chill House, The Mighty Boosh debuted their live band, with a secret warm-up gig ahead of their appearance at The Big Chill Festival in August.

The evening was kicked off in style with a DJ set from the Team Awesome DJ's who got the packed club up and dancing, before Naboo The Enigma (aka Michael Fielding) took to the decks for set of party bangers. Finally the stage was set for the Boosh boys and their band.

Vince Noir and Howard Moon (aka Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt) were joined on stage by many of the characters from the show, with a guest appearance from Rich Fulcher, in the guises of Bob Fossil, and blind jazz legend Lester Cornflake, who worked the crowd like a true jazz maverick with his trombone. But, it was the appearance of the distinctly disturbing Old Gregg, who invited Howard to suckle on The Funk, which received the biggest cheer of the night.

The band played a selection of their greatest hits from the television show, to rapturous response from the crowd, who were lapping up Boosh favourites such as Electro Boy, Cockney Reggae, Eels, and Charlie.

Unfortunately, after an hour, the band had finished, but if this warm up is anything to go by, we're in for a real treat when The Mighty Boosh take to the stage at Eastnor this year! The crowd were returned back to the safe hands of the Team Awesome DJ's, who kept the crowd on their feet till the wee small hours.
