My first 'proper' band (Playing bass) did a lot of gigs around North of England 1993 to 95 - I had nothing to do with the lyrics!!  Picture is Mr Jolly back stage with Dave Vanian from the Damned

False Idol was always the last song we played, with Danny usually jumping into the audience at the end! 

Mr Jolly - False Idol

Another Mr Jolly track from my days in this Punk/gothic/alternative band from the mid 90's, i never really liked this song back then, and it didn't stay in the set for too long, but now i really like it..

Mr Jolly - Conflict

 I came up with initial riff & idea for this song, with the rest of the band all chipping in to make it happen, You can hear Danny's vocals falter when he is put off by the sound of Nik's drums hitting a mic ha! 

Mr Jolly - Just a dream

Sell Destruction the new single from Prisoners Of Mother England, Nick Coles first original offering to the band, influenced by Queens of the Stone Age. This song tackles the hypocrisy of the worlds leading powers & arms dealers involved in foreign wars.

New single 'Sell Destruction' out NOW! Single 'Wild Frontier'  & album 'Confessions of a Working Class Tosser' also  available on download - 
Alternative Rock/Punk Rock band Prisoners Of Mother England formed in 2015 in West Yorkshire by Bedderz. Opened for the likes of Toyah, Hands off Gretel, Louise Distras, Newtown Neurotics etc. Bedderz relocated to London town late 2015, 6 months later POME were back playing the London circuit.

Now after over 4 years of playing around London, mixing with the likes of  Steve Dior, The Ramonas, Glen Matlock, Will Crewdson, She Made Me do It, Healthy Junkies etc the band have a settled line up and are picking up interest on the London alternative music scene. 2019 saw the band appear at the Camden Rocks festival & Portobello Live festival. The year also saw a TV appearance and a couple of successful  'homecoming' northern gigs back in July, the year has definitely been a good one! But don’t take my word for it! - 
Ken Follett (Author) - ‘Prisoners of Mother England, terrific post-punk energy, tight as the proverbial gnat’s chuff.’
Eugene Butcher Vive Le Rock - ‘Charged up Rock n Roll set!’
JC Carroll (The Members) - ‘AND finally seeing Paul Bedford’s excellent Prisoners Of Mother England!
Captain Sensible (The Damned) - 'Some exceptional ideas and sounds here... you've got it daddio!'
Seeing the year out with a CD launch gig at the St Moritz club in Soho in November & an opening slot for She Made me do it & Scant Regard (Both featuring Adam & the Ants/Rachel  Stamp members) in December at Nambucca ensured a fun packed, rocking end to the year!
 
New single ‘Sell Destruction’ released worldwide via download, Nick Coles first original offering to the band, backed by two further new songs 'Girl in the ship' and 'I'm alright' 

Rock on Pommies!
