Abdoujaparov at The Brit Bar supported by B-Sydes

About Us

"Abdoujaparov bring the fun, spirit, singalong lines and, of course, the lead singer of 90s legends Carter USM – Les 'Fruitbat' Carter. He's the man having most fun by miles and is endearing, funny and a good old fashioned frontman."
Gary Trueman
—Devolution Magazine

Formed by Les Carter in 1998 after the breakup of Carter USM, Abdoujaparov are named after Tour De France cyclist Djamolidine Abdoujaparov.

Abdoujaparov's musical foundations are the joyous and shambolic influences of 1977 Punk Rock & New Wave, but there is so much more than that under the covers.
Eight EPs, four singles and six albums have been released on Spinach Records.

The band has toured worldwide, racking up over 600 gigs, from tiny clubs to big festivals.

B-Sydes (AKA Ben Sydes) is a folk-punk singer-songwriter based in Cambridge/ London.

On his travels Ben has been lucky enough to share stages with Frank Turner, Gaz Brookfield, Ferocious Dog, Ben Marwood, Chris T - T, Beans On Toast, Dave McPherson, Sam Duckworth, Walter Schreifels to name a few.

B-Sydes played his first shows outside of the UK in December 2016, touring with Nick Parker on a 10 date tour of Germany.
