Stumbled across these at Beautiful Days a few years ago, always good fun and they play pub gigs here in Devon occasionally which is even better!

I've not seen them so can't really comment.  They seem a pleasant/fun pub band that no doubt fit well on the folk circuit but are they any more than that?

They're not big or God's gift but they're nicely feel-good

They're always good for a dance - often playing festivals down this way - they're often at Maker and volksfest too

Went to there christmas gig the other week, always know it's Christmas when ive heard there rendition of Fairytale of New York

I go and see them all the time, as there always gigging in Plymouth, and have a fairly regular slot in the pub just down the road from me.

Saw them at Glasto last year on the thursday night (Avalon Cafe? I think it was) and was suprised at the crowd they got. Great fun

I'm regularly invited to the Plymouth gigs by the power of Facebook - am always wondering if they've ever played London and hoping I'll catch them during the summer in a field. As I did in the Avalon cafe with you and about 100 jigging others I'd say last year. Happy days.

Sounds like one to put on the recommendations list.
Most years I ask around friends not necessarily going to Glasto but with a broad knowledge of music if there's anyone I might seek out.
A couple of years ago someone recommended seeing Rokia Traore and it turned out to be a great performance.

Liking this. Kind of a professional take on Hobo Jones, or perhaps that's just me

Careful, that wouldn't work surely

(Of course, if the Hobos win Britain's Got Talent, we'll get to see what professional Hobos look like   )

Bumpety bump bump bump cos this makes me so happy, I have missed seeing them so so much being up here in Brizzle instead of Plymouth. Although I am planning on dragging Mongrel to one of their free out door bank holiday sunday sessions which last about 5hours so he can understand why I am so so happy about this!
