Alex and the Wonderland

London

https://www.alexandthewonderland.com

London Irish Alex Wonderland leads an impressive band of musically organic creatures from all over the world, as they hop along through the rural lanes of England during summer festival seasons, and into the urbanised purple haze of London´s best loved music venues. They´ve shared cable adorned stages with the likes of Alabama 3, Ian Dury´s Blockheads, and Toploader.
Alex´s immensely large and varied songwriting topics include light-hearted subjects: from Jamaican food cooking "Sunshine on a plate" and the joshing of percieved city audiences at shows "London city dont wanna dance", as well as serious social matters like the Syrian refugee crisis "Climb aboard", mental health/depression advice "Throw it over your shoulder", environmental and climate change issues "Lose our environment", and the harsh difficulties of experiencing domestic abuse within the home"Suffering in silence".
The current lineup reveals Alex on guitar/piano and vocals, Pablo Paracchino (Italy) on drums, Maria Lukova (Bulgaria) on violin, John Barry (New Zealand) on Piano, and ´Singe´ Rogers (Moon) on bass... + special guests joining in on the act include brass sections, Jamaican MCs, and West African percussionists; to Spinney Lainey (flute), Ese & Sheena of Alabama 3 / The Vooduu People (vocals), Dana Immanuel (banjo) and DUB FX (beat-boxing).
