   About Welfare Mothers

Our EP, Gemini. Available from us for sale. For £4. We have a second EP, called 'Light at the', also available for sale. For £4. Contact us.

In January 2006 we played at a benefit gig for Military Families Against the War in The Tunnels. The songs on the Gemini EP were recorded there. If you'd like a physical copy then leave a message here and we will send you one. The physical CD has an extra song not on the web (a cover of Beck's Pay No Mind from Mellow Gold).
