All London's live music


Folk, Punk

The Great Malarkey & DJ Captain Flatcap

The Magic Garden, SW11 4LG , [Venue Details]

Right on the edge of control and chaos, lively and incredibly charismatic, ladies and gentlemen: The Great Malarkey

Saturday,
9 May 2026
@7.00pm

Releasing their second album in early 2017 on Batov Records, ‘Doghouse’ delivers not only the continued raucous energy of their live shows, as showcased in their first album ‘Badly Stuffed Animals’, but the eventual bruising, vulnerability of the morning after the night before.

Influenced by the likes of Tom Waits, The Pogues, Beirut, Nick Cave, Fanfare Ciocarlia, The Dead Brothers, and Toots and the Maytals (the latter of whom they supported with only their third gig), The Great Malarkey are a riotous mix of musical styles and genres delivered in a “multicultural train of fast beats and trembling slams of punk-folk spirit”.

The Great Malarkey do not disappoint. They bring their whole heart to every song, every show, every album, and anyone who wants to listen. No need to just take their word for it, though, here’s what some other people think:

“‘Duck n Dive’ may be one of the most surprisingly brilliant songs to come across my desk in months.” A&R FACTORY (Single Review)

​”A must-see live experience” – TOM ROBINSON, BBC 6 Music

“I challenge you to keep still” – PURE RAWK (Live Review)
