'The only way to understand Junked up Newt is to go and see them and either stand and stare slack jawed or dance your little socks off. An outstanding orchestrated cacophony of percussion with bits of rock, blues, rap and the odd choral moment thrown in for good measure all played on a variety of junk with guitars and vocals on board too, they are something else entirely...like Scrapheap Challenge crossed with the best party you've ever been to.. Outstanding 10/10' - PUNKEMON

what is junked up newt?
 
Junked Up Newt is a twenty-two legged beast from Chudleigh. Every Summer it emerges from hibernation to play shows across England, beating merry hell out of gas pipes, shopping trolleys, tin pipes, table frames and other disposables. It's about ten years old.

what is the chudleigh mad project?

The project was started in 1993 with the idea of providing a week of music, art and drama for children in Chudleigh and surrounding areas. Over the years it has expanded to include two drama workshop groups, a regular art session and two junk bands (Junked Up Newt and their second generation counterparts, Pale Blue Elastic). Of course, the original MAD week still continues every Summer, and the project is always on the look out for new ideas and ways to expand.
