Biography

Monkiejamm are a five piece band who cover a diverse range of cover songs as well as performing their own material. 
Never short of doing gigs,the bands aim is to enjoy ever gig they do,and have in the past played live venues in their home town of Grantham.
Currently the band are gathering a growing fan base in and around the surrounding area.Including Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire 
They  recorded their debut album A FISTFULL OF JELLYBEANS last september but wish to do more.The Monkies get together every weekend to  practice at a local pub and They are currently concentrating on writing new material and sorting out an acoustic setup.The range of artists covered are The police to The Blues Brothers.The Beatles to Wilson Pickett.

To say these boys have had it hard would be an understatement they formed five years ago with various line up changes but the line up today have been together for two years.They started out with only a handful of tracks but now they have enough material to do a 3 hour gig.They have worked hard to get where they are.

Here are some  local newspaper reports  about the band.

6/12/02 Grantham journals Claire Carrington says

Monkiejamm made such an impression on their debut gig at Gravity FM's Rock Night,the audience couldn't stay in their seats.They sounded good,created a great atmosphere and were fun to watch,so if you didn't make it to this gig,be sure to catch the next.

30/5/03 Grantham journals Bob Hart says

Monkiejamm returned with an expanded repertoire and bigger sound since their debut gig in December.The hard work and practising has paid off.An R'n'B version of the psychedelic Beatles classic Tomorrow Never Knows was an early highlight.Monkiejamm are coming on by leaps and bounds and future gigs are worth looking out for.

Clair Carrington 23/01/04

Monkiejamm's humour and energy has helped build a growing reputation as crowd pleasers and  growing fan base.
