The Top Bananas play music on stilts and are 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 Flower children, Floppy Toppers and of course Black Tie versions available.

Jazz, Funk, Disco & Ska Classics all get The Top Banana treatment and their musicians have many years of professional and international live music and stilt experience at all kinds of festivals, events and openings.

They perform as a five-piece band of harmony vocals, oil-can guitar, horns, bass instrument & percussion with smaller groupings available. They also have a Jungle-themed band features “Jumping Monkey” on spring-loaded stilts!
