   About Bag of Spanners
Initially conceived in a caravan high on the Pennine Moors, then distilled and fermented in fair Furness. The epicentre of the Spanners is the village of Haverthwaite, nestling in the Leven Valley at the arse-end of Lake Windermere.
Fronted by a right pair of wallers, the Spanners specialise in writing 21st century SCumbrian folk songs in the manner of Ewan MaColl, delivered with the brashness, energy and aggression of the Pogues, resulting in a manic concoction of folk/punk/pop guaranteed to make the rafters roar.

"A magnificent collection of fresh, fun and occasionally thrilling tracks injected with punk energy, loads of spirit and a healthy lack of reverence."Rock 'n' Reel
"Daring to say what others only think, they roar through some familiar trd and witty originals, trashing any not into the cult of the individual or green causes. Seems pretty sound to me." Froots Mag
"Mixing jaunty tradition with contemporary themes, politically informed yet never harbouring delusions of grandeur. Cracking stuff." Evening Mail

ay up. Thought of inviting Eric Clapton to the sesh on Thursday to do an acoustic blues set. But he's never invited us. Has he? So bollocks to him. And he still can't wring Pete Green's grundies out!
