About: The Muffin Men

Liverpool's The Muffin Men have been bringing Frank Zappa's music to the stage since 1990 - not as a carbon copy, but as a living reinterpretation shaped by the current band. With seven original Zappa musicians having guested over the years, they are a fixture at European Zappa festivals.
