About Us:
We are a group of stilt-walking musicians who have brought all of our experience in performing as part of other companies (Rumpel Stilt's Kin, Neighbourhood Watch, Poles Apart, Stomp!) into our own stilt-walking band.
The Top Bananas are a stiltwalking band of musicians, based in Brighton , England. This band on stilts features a leaping monkey on bouncy stilts who plays an oil-can guitar, harmony vocals, a horn section, and a rhythm section. The band is all about fun and plays a selection of Jazz, Funk, Disco and Ska classics. Besides the Jungle Band there are also Western, Sporty, 70's Disco, Hippy/Flowerchildren, Floppy Toppers and of course Black Tie versions available.
