MERRY HELL IN "BEST BAND" NOMINATION
The band are delighted to have made the shortlist in the ‘Best Band’ category of the 2017 Folking Awards at “folking.com”. Needless to say we would love to win the award but we are up against some stiff competition so we really need your votes. Click on the image or the "Best Band" link above to go to the voting page and scroll down to the 'categories' panel. There are eight categories to vote in but the important one is number 3 for “Best Band”. We would really appreciate your help. Don't just assume that other people will vote, we need you to vote and if you have any like-minded friends, please get them to do likewise. Voting closes at mid day on Saturday so we need everyone to vote sooner rather than later.
COME ON, ENGLAND!
As many of you will know from the band's Facebook page, we are shooting a video for Bob's 'alternative national anthem', "Come On, England!" and are inviting fans to come along and be part of it. In these divided times, the song celebrates English traditions of tolerance,inclusivity, social justice, progressivism and radicalism. Taking back the name of ‘England’ from xenophobes and racists, it presents an alternative vision of a land in which diverse nationalities, cultures and creeds can live together in equality and community. As we will be asking you to raise your tea cups and glasses, we need you to bring along your drinking vessel of choice. The shoot will take place at St Peter's Square in Manchester and possibly one or two other locations in the city on Sunday 23rd April. We will release further details and meeting times via Facebook or you can e-mail us and let us know that you would like to come along.
