Rising in mid-2006 from the ashes of south Lincolnshire rock covers band "Bootleg", Fiona and John recruited Karl with the intention of doing something a bit more interesting and challenging than churning out tired old rock standards, despite the fact that it had been good fun while it lasted.
Starting off by identifying a batch of obscure songs that could do with an airing, we soon progressed to creating the odd original number when Karl revealed that he'd been a songwriter for about 80 years.
With a fiddle player hovering on the fringes, we've already done a number of performances in the Lincolnshire area and are constantly working on new and interesting songs to expand the set.
The beauty of this band is that there are NO egos whatsoever. Another plus point is that, given the nature of the material involved, we don't all need to be present to make it sound good. Therefore, if one or two of us are unable to attend a gig, the others still do it under the name of Lying Scotsman. It's this lack of musical pomposity that sets us apart.
The name? Ah, yes. One of us is a Scot. Another is a trainspotter. Simple, really. Your job is to guess which is which...
G Brown, ESQ has nothing to do with it, honest.
March 2007 saw us release our first demo CD - "Situation Normal - All Folked Up". Check the main website for full details.
No problems! At least someone's talking to us!!!!!! We were totally pissed off about Tallington, was looking forward to catching up. Will see you soon.
