What They say image

2020 Vision

Video from the new single

Based out of Watford, UK, The Dicemen can safely claim to be one of the most popular folk/post-punk/indie acoustic trios in the Herts Beds Bucks area! They line-up with guitar,  acoustic bass and either mandolin, bouzouki or - on a bad day - banjo, to play their own songs alongside some  unlikely versions of others you may already know.

Some say that their signature song, Last Throw of the Dice,  is about an ageing band who still love playing live, despite their lack of commercial success. The Dicemen categorically deny all allegations that this song is in any way autobiographical.

The Dicemen have been heard on national BBC radio and taken their chances at The Magpies Festival, Ragged Bear, Watford Live, The Musician (Leicester), The Water Rats (London) and Woburn festival, and are proud to have supported Chris Difford of Squeeze.

NEWS! The Dicemen's new album Double Six is out on Friday 3rd May, when you can find it on Spotify and all good on-line music retailers!

Also, do check out the video for The Migrant's Lament, the Dicemen's previous single, which was made in collaboration with fabulous award-winning Greek filmmaker Yorgos Zios.
