Druidic Britskiffle arrived on the evening of 21st June 2006.
Desperate old losers Mr. Plow & Kevin Hewick, assisted by magical tub thumper Uncle Flash entertained a select crowd with skiffle sounds of yore.
The skifflers have formed themselves into a collective - The Soar Valley Wayfarers, and will be again exploding onto stage at The Musician in Leicester in December, and then to who knows where........
'Doomcloud' is now free to download from www. kevinhewick. co. uk - it's me in unwayfarerish mode, before I knew Mr Plow.. 12 songs ,a voice, a guitar, the mood piece to end all mood pieces recorded between 2000 - 2003, complete with a very detailed song by song essay on the site as well. xxxx
Yo skiffledudes!!! Thanks for including me in your small but perfectly formed pantheon of friends. Is stage-diving permitted at SVW gigs?! :-)---->---<
The late jug master (1939-2005) plays some of the spookiest tones ever on the previously unreleased "Visiting Day." Recorded by the Jailhouse Jug Band, the tune is currently spotlighted on the Jug Bandolier player.
The Wayfarers can be awful and fantastic within the same song..a fluffed chord here,a half mumbled lyric there..
..bringing TENSION back into music..The SVWs!!!
