IT’S a long jump from the courtyard of the Druid’s Arms pub in Maidstone to Glastonbury but Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs have made it.

The Maidstone-based musicians, who’ve made a name for themselves skiffling everything from Led Zeppelin to the Pussycat Dolls, are on the bill for one of the biggest UK festivals.

They’ll join the likes of Jay-Z, Kings of Leon and the Verve, at the Somerset music event.

The full line-up was announced Tuesday morning.

The trio - Hobo Jones, Wino Tyrone and Miser Bill - will certainly stand out in their unique get up, playing an array of instruments from the washboard to the kitchen sink.

Hobo Jones said: "When I got the call I put my businessman’s hat on and was very sensible, then as soon as I got off the phone I ran around screaming like a little kid."
