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  :P

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 :P

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 :P

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.  :P

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  :P

Careful, that wouldn't work surely :P

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

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! :P
