David Hart and John Jones met years ago through Morris Dancing, and their love of quirky music – especially the British Folk oriented type – bought them together in many whimsical guises, including Bantam of the Opera, and Rural Male.

Fat Boy and Slim describe themselves as ‘exponents of fine entertainment’ who specialize in toe-tapping tunes of yesteryear, plus lots of hilarity and humour.

Regular entertainers around Christchurch, David and John have recently performed at The Edwardian Festival, along with many private and corporate gigs.

Songs in their repertoire have the unlikely titles of ‘Wotcher’, ‘The Galloping Major’ and ‘The End of the Old Cigar’.
