   About Welfare Mothers
About us...

Welfare Mothers are three young English gentlemen and one odd Frenchie fellow. They are aiming for the title of "Britain's Smelliest Band" and have had some great results in recent training sessions. They talk in funny low voices and make their own shirts from discarded tablecloths.

For bookings/information, either message us or email us here.
