We find influence in all things especially when in the state of Avantruralism. Here are some examples: Lee Perry, Miles Davis, Arve Henriksen, Luke Vibert, disco snare noises from Yamaha keyboards, the friendly creatures of the woods, The Skatalites, Nina Simone, Bob Marley, Oliver Twist, RATM, farmlife, Wensleydale, scrumpin, Amon Tobin, pink elephants, St. Germain, dead bits of wood full of insects, George Gershwin, Boscastle, Ozomatli, pirates, Megadrive, Cheddar Valley Cider, the writing of Robert Selby, dags, punking cats, the mighty oak, udders, funk, fresh funk, fatboy funk, fumpin, Ed Cox, Wonky bars, camels (two humps natch), the precise angles needed to build large dome structures out of metal, cheddar...
The Ratfinks are on sabbatical, foraging deeply into the trouser pockets of self reflection to find the fluff of life. It is possible that this occupation may prevent us from ever gigging again. Shocking, we know.
We'd like to thank all the promoters that gave us gigs, the people that saw us and that danced and cheered and also we'd like to thank the bacterial culture that helps to make milk into cheese.

If you have looked at our website recently you will have seen the announcement that Mojo Studios is to close some time in 2009 due to the premises being redeveloped.
However, until that day arrives (which is subject to the usual legal stuff) we are operating as usual with just one change...
The rate has been slashed to just £100 per day!
...and the residential rate is now £150 per day!
So if you are thinking of recording a new demo, EP or album then now is the perfect opportunity to get the best production at rock bottom prices.
You can email us for details at info@mojostudios.co.uk or call us on 07813 600363.
A wicked night in fundraising for the Bradninch Music & Arts Festival 2009 – Bradninch has never held an evening this eclectic, diverse or mental – come and join our insanity and help keep our festival running :-) 16th September, Bradninch Guildhall, £4 – breaks/beats/ska/dub/dubstep/improvised vocals/jamming musicians with DJs/Trouble & Mischief and the first south-west gig from singer/songwriter Elle Cox – you do not want to miss this gig!
Please please please make a fucking album! Just happened to catch your set at Secret Garden Party by chance, and found it to be one of the most exciting performances I've seen all year. Are you guys gonna be doing any shows in the north that aren't festivals anytime?
Ello, just dropping the video by to everyone who played, and to all my artists in particular you all did extrememly well, and thankyou so much for sticking with it - Friday's girls through the cold & saturday's guys through the delays - I apologise for both and your performances were all brilliant - I've heard no end of amazing feedback from both gigs. Put this video wherever you like, Love & light, Roxanne :) Bradninch 2008 official video part 1
