All with a twist of bagpipes which appeals to the Steampunk world as being so much out of the ordinary it becomes surreal.

Meet Major Blunder, our special guest performer who brings the whimsical spirit of steampunk to life through catchy tunes and delightful lyrics that celebrate the eccentricities of the Steampunk culture.
With a top hat perched jauntily and a heart full of whimsy, Major Blunder strums his ukulele, whisking audiences away to a world where corsets meet clockwork, and boots click-clack with every step.
His songs are a playful homage to the steampunk revellers, capturing their unique style and spirited gatherings.
Imagine lyrics that laugh at the absurdity of life in a corset, where every breath is a challenge, yet every twirl is a dance of freedom.
Celebrate the clattering of gears, the shimmer of goggles, and the jovial camaraderie of fellow adventurers dressed to impress.
Gather your friends, adjust your corsets, polish your boots and let the music of Major Blunder ignite your imagination!
In true Steampunk style these guys bring a smile to your face as soon as they take to the stage and then a truly glittering performance of comedy and song.
This year we are hoping for that vintage Victorian twist to their show to get you singing along in merriment and joy. They have travelled to our Island to enthral you with their unique style of entertainment.
