REVIEWS OF "ALTERNATIVE ROUTE TO ALL DESTINATIONS">>>>>>>>>>
From Maverick magazine:
"I really loved this CD.The all round good feeling, the upbeat songs and the sparkling arrangements left me with a warm feeling and a spring in my step. All the songs are written by the group and are as good a bunch of modern folk songs as you'll find" ****
From Rock n Reel magazine:
" an album of consistently pleasing self compositions that blend country rock with the rootsy edge of Steve Earle & Lindisfarne and with a folkie's grasp of the instrumentals." ***
From fRoots magazine:
"An album that visits most corners of roots music within a good time framework. Catch it for country, folk, Cajun and all stops to an old fashioned rock n roll mentality. The Durbervilles make intelligent music to party along with." (thumbs up)
"(a)..feelgood collection of jaunty original numbers" - BBC Radio 2 Music Club
"..torches of Cajun..accordions, some sharp guitar licks" - Americana Uk
"The Durbervilles are quite rightly a legend and an institution" Tykes News
"(an)..infectiously upbeat record." Morley Observer
"..you can almost imagine Richard Thompson on guitar" - Stirrings

****************************************************************
The Durbervilles meld of folk, roots and alt country has been entertaining big eared audiences in Yorkshire and beyond since the turn of the century. They have a reputation for enlivening everything from pure acoustic folk club shows to full scale electric sets on festival stages.
The Durbervilles have brought out three albums to date: Striving To Be Reasonable, The Ballpark Of Expectation (see live rendition of Raining Down from the album at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwWKTaZIk1E) and, most recently, Alternative Route To All Destinations. Distribution through Proper.
Their live set features numbers mostly written by the 3 founder members: Lee Walsh Vocals/12 String guitar/ Mouth organ, mandolin; David P Crickmore Acoustic & Electric Lead Gtr/Dobro/Lap & Pedal Steel/Mandola/Banjo/ B.Vocs / and Mark Boyce drums/percussion/B. vocs.. The three are complimented by blind ace accordionist/ vocalist Gus Taylor, and double bass player Ruth Wilde.
RADIO SHOW:
Their reputation for witty banter between numbers at gigs is probably what led to The Durbervilles radio shows on the BBC in Yorkshire.

Past guests have included Kate Rusby, Richard Thompson, Seth Lakeman, Fairport Convention, Waterson:Carthy, Rachel Unthank & The Winterset, Show Of Hands, Steve Tilston and Maddy Prior.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Please check out our new "vampire bankers" comic music video. The guy who directed this also directed Madonna's first music vid. We think it's funny. Hope you do, too. There's also a free mp3 download on http://www.ukejackson.com
