...then it was the turn of Folk Daddy. Some may know him as the genial drummer from noisy boro types Idiot Savant, but Ben Muriel has a secret folky past, and his accapella renditions of traditional British folk songs are rapidly gaining him a cult following of his own, espeacially with good lady wife Folk Mammy accompanying on delightful harmonies.

"Meanwhile stand up drummer Ben stands in with a rendition of his Folk Daddy repertoire, though he perhaps stretches things too far in his rendition of Two Little Boys." Bob Shrug, Gazette. - how can two little boys be a step too far? I ask ya!!!

Teesside accappella folk that essentially combines all the best bits of Sheffield born actor Sean Beans entire career and wallops them into fifteen minutes. For starters it Sounds like that bit at the end of each episode of Sharpe where Sgt Harper pulls a bullet out of his leg and the Yorkshire man with the pony tail sings ‘over the hills and far away’. Secondly Folk Daddy manages to emit the same onstage harmony with his co-singer, Beans character Jimmy Muir oozes when he finally gets the girl in ‘When Saturday Comes’ and just when you can’t remember anything else Sean Beans done apart from being the doyle in Lord of The Rings its mixed with the wisdom that the Steel City's favourite Sean pulls out the bag in 1998’s Ronin when he shouts at a bemused Robert De Nero and co “Nearly some raspberry jam back there lads, nearly some raspberry jam.” Paul Emmett
It's a place for bands to explain how they book shows. Comes along with news on web technologies, recording gizmos as well as music industry trends and anecdotes.
that sounds great, would be nice to have heard them in something a little more intimate than the albert hall I think, end of the road was very good too, nice weather helped a little
morning, glad you're liking the rio grande recording, a shame about your terrible jokes but I am very envious of your trip to york next weekend, is it just the four of them playing it?
hello, I did not know about this, it should be great, where is it going on? unfortunately I will be in Devon playing End of the Road Festival all weekend
Come and clean my windows! You can look into my room and see all of my NOW! cds and Bunty comics, and realise how exceedingly uncool i am. It's all an act, really.
Seriously though, if he can't even be bothered to collect his own money, i don't want him near my windows. He's obviously lazy, and will do a shoddy job. Pretty logical, i think.
wooah, your contact bit has just tripped me out....man... is it really backwards, orrrrrrrr... is my laptop gonna die ? you in zee pub over the weekend ? ak aka akka
Ben, i received a note through my door today from AlAN [sic] the window cleaner. Apparently his round is too big for someone to go around and collect money at a seperate time, so they will charge you straight after cleaning. I think he's just trying to boast.
Is your dad called Alan? Or, AlAN, as he liked to put. I hope so.
blast! Thats liverpool, Hartlepool AND Ruby Street Social in two months.
I might stay away from you, by your luck you're due some lightening. haha
Exams are going alright, only got the one left now! hope this weather picks up for you mate, dont want to see you swimming down the street on your ladders any time soon.
We went for a quick two pints in that backstreet pub, the alex youwere on about. It's class. anyway, saw your name on the pool sheet, did you win the final? If so invite me for the open top bus tour of east clevelnd when it happens.
