The Ukrainians grew out of a project started by 80s Indie darlings The Wedding Present. The group, at the instigation of guitarist Peter Solowka, decided to make one of their sessions for the BBC's John Peel Show a Ukrainian one! Peter's friend 'The Legendary Len' was drafted in as an extra member because he sang, played a scratchy, authentic village-sounding violin and was a student of Slavonic languages! The group recorded the first session and it was duly broadcast. Then Peel played it again...and again...and again!

CHECK OUT THE UKRAINIAN GROUP!!!!
We had the pleasure of supporting The Ukrainians when they played in Ashton last month. It was a great night, but a shame for me because I had to leave before they played their second set, and so I missed them play my favourite song of theirs, Cherez Richku Cherez Hai. They rehearsed it earlier in the day, though, and there is this fantastic video on YouTube, so I haven't missed out on too much.
