2018 has been a another busy year full of ups and downs! We’ve lost some dear friends and made some gorgeous new ones.
We’ve played a few concerts with our new line-up featuring Chris Musto on drums, Claire Hirst on sax, the wonderful Emma Goss on Double Bass and Gemma B on trumpet of course.
We hope to finally get out touring clubs in 2019.

We’ve had a computer crisis which wiped out many of this year’s recordings and demos. No matter – we’ll be recording again in the new year.
In the meantime here’s our take on the Billy Fury classic “Wondrous Place”. Hope you enjoy.

Wishing all our friends a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and productive 2019.

Much love

It’s been a while but we’re delighted to have our website back up and running.
The Montecristos have been “working hard, rehearsing all the time, writing new numbers…”
We’re thrilled to welcome to the revamped line up former Johnny Thunders drummer extraordinaire – the stick-twirling, swinging Chris Musto – and former Belle Star, Communard and Bowie sax maestra Clare Hirst joins “the brassiest horn section in Rock ‘n’ Roll”.
Expect some pre-Christmas show announcements soon.

Sophie Lo
We were devastated to hear of the sad death of wonderful French Rock ’n’ Roll artist and designer Sophie Lo earlier this year.
Sophie designed all of The Montecristos artwork – album and single covers, gig posters and beautifully distressed our logo and press shots. She was a total joy to work with and bounce ideas off. She’ll be very much missed.
