Alreet people Flinty here! This is my tribute to the late great Eric Boswell. Eric left us a tremendous legacy of ingenious folk songs from Northeast England which seem to have been largely forgotten.

I hope they put a smile on your face, and help put Eric’s unique perspective of life and humour from North East England back into the collective conscious.

P.S. - there’s a few songs by another Geordie legend Wilf Mitford in there too - more to follow in future!!!!

Independently unpolished band who like to be happy.  Unintentionally retro. Effortlessly uncool.

We'd describe ourselves as unpolished with dashes of introspection, cynicism, irony & humour. Tom Robinson describes us as ‘optimistic jangle fuzz merchants’.

We're very pleased to have had lots of radio play & positive feedback from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing East Midlands, Radio Caroline & Exile FM Radio amongst others. We’ve also been chosen several times as a Fresh On The Net 'Fresh Fave'.

Despite being quite a reclusive band with modest ambitions - we like our music to be heard outside of our own heads!

All our music is available for free download on Bandcamp.
