So many more to chose from....but the above are just a selection.........


First seen these in Blackpool several years ago (infact a number of the clips above are from that gig - available on DVD "Under Blackpool Lights")

[mark]

Not been able to take them seriously since I saw French & Saunders take off of them - "the Poo Stripes"!!

Lol Mark......

You don't have to take them seriously (they don't)........just a great nights' entertainment and very original stuff, coupled with some interesting versions of some of the blues classics, new stuff and "unusual" covers of so-called "modern classics".

Mind you...having said that, there are some pretty thought provoking lyrics on the new album !
