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.’

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!
