There's going to be a bonus presentation at the Rainforest World Music Festival in July.

A quirky group called the CHIPOLATAS from England are going to bring their own brand of street entertainment, music and clowning antics.

They are known world-wide as an adrenaline-infused band, having performed in 30 countries across 5 continents.

Their routines are an overload of vibrant colourful music and comedy. This dynamic trio comprising of Tristan Glover, Samuel Thomas and Gareth king are renowned for their energy, vivacity, passion and wit!

Sam started his career at the age of 9 with the Fabulous Salami Brothers and soon established himself as a sausage in his own right. He has trained extensively in circus skills, theatrical design and performance techniques and is both a professional teacher and performer.

Jasper started with solo shows before teaming up with Sam. Tristan has been playing live music since he was 12 and is a talented "squeezebox" player as he handles the accordion in the CHIPOLATAS's acts.

Look out for them all around Kuching even before the festival. They might pop up anywhere, anytime.

Children will be encouraged to go to their workshops - it will be a blast of clowning, juggling, acrobatics as well a good dose of English traditional songs and stories. Not quite what you would expect at a world music festival but it will pep up the already electrical buzz that's always present at this long awaited annual festival.

The 3 guys of CHIPOLATAS are expected to come up with fast and furious routines that have earned them rave reviews.

They bring with them the magic of fun. They are rowdy, exuberant and totally mad.
