Heralding from the historic market town of Bedford they are a completely original and unique act. They take the tradition sound of Skiffle and Folk. Then blend it with influences ranging from Funk, Punk, Soul and Rock. They then combine that with with saucy postcard, risque humour to hilarious effect. Their sound has been described as George Formby meets The Clash and is a Cabaret show which combines Vaudevillian with Working mens club values.

During their live show the audience are invited to be honorary members and take advantage of the excellent advice from the host Andy who bares the scars of his many years on the single scene. Aided with his ukulele and supported by Tracy on Bass he uses his unique presentation method to arm all members with the necessary arsenal to combat the singles scene.

The Ouse Valley Singles Club are a band that are heavily influenced by the traditional sounds of 1950's Skiffle but combine that with the energy of Rock and Roll and Punk. They are not a regular 'Jug and Bottle' type band, their sound is kind of New Wave Skiffle and has been described as "George Formby meets The Clash" and goes down well everywhere they play with a variety of audiences.

Humorous in nature the songs work well in any venue with both young and old, although the songs have adult content, OVSC tailor the shows depending on the time slot and audience.




They have played and been well received in pubs, clubs and festivals all over the UK. Locally they are regulars in Bedford's Esquires Music Venue where they are as popular with the Indie/Rock/Muso crowd as they are with your Real Ale afficiano's

The radio airwaves and internet are inundated with World Cup Songs, all hoping to be the next 'World in Motion', '3 Lions' or 'Vindaloo'... There is a lot of talk about the poor effort by the Tax Dodging Mr Barlow and pretty much every other song is a usually a sycophantic chant saying how great our boys are or something along the lines of 'This Time we can do it.. " "This is the year..." "We done it in 1966......"  etc etc

We are The Ouse Valley Singles Club a 3 piece New Wave Skiffle band from Bedford and have recorded a World Cup Song with a difference. Expressing what the long suffering fans really feel and also incorporating some of the good natured banter the home nations share at this time. In our style we have combined 1950s traditional sound of Skiffle with a Brazillian groove... Skiffle Samba if you like... Lonnie Donegan Meets The Clash Meets Sergio Mendez. I have attached a copy of our song as well as including a link below to our video (its a 5 minute movie) Have a listen and a look and see what you think...

I present you the Unofficial officially unofficial England World Cup Song for Brazil 2014... "It Could Be Worse" By 'The Ouse Valley Singles Club 

Enjoy.

Ouse Valley Single Club Interview On In2beats

The Fenland Smash hit...

THE OUSE VALLEY SINGLES CLUB

If you are not familiar with The Ouse Valley Singles Club or have yet to catch their live show then you are in for a treat. They are one of the most original outfits currently doing the live circuit. Hailing from the historical market town of Bedford The OVSC are Tim Barron (Compare/Vocalist/Ukulele), Amy Martell(vocals/Bass) Uncle Sam(vocals/toasting/Washboard) Jim Morton(Snare) and sometimes member Neil Whittington (guitar). Usually self-n with the aid of their online videos and huge social media presence, they claim to be one of the hardest working bands around. They have gigged almost every weekend over the last two years honing their craft and cementing their place as East Anglia’s Number 1 comedy Skiffle band, building a massive following of loyal Fans as they go.

Heavily influenced by the sounds & traditions of 1950’s Skiffle (Google it) they combine this long forgotten genre with the energy of Punk, whilst occasionally dropping some Rub n dub reggae urban flavours into the mix and then layering this with hilarious Folk-like story-telling, often crossing the parameters of what is deemed to be politically correct. In doing this, they have created a truly original & highly entertaining sound that has been dubbed “New Wave Skiffle” and described as 'George Formby meets The Clash’ ‘Vaudeville/Music Hall meets Working Men’s club' ‘The scourge of the Metropolitan Liberal Elite’ They put on a show that gives a hysterical observational account of every day tales of woe with a razor sharp observational narrative whilst rocking the crowds with their infectious earworms at the same time.

Having packed out the main arena to capacity at Peterborough Beer Festival and opened on the main stage at Bedford’s River Festival along with being regular features at Cambridge’s Strawberry Fair, The OVSC are no strangers to the Festival Circuit. They have performed at Boomtown, Bestival, Rhythmtree, Nozstock, Mosley Folk , Lunar Festival, Truckfest, Rhythms of The World festival, Henry’s Little Big Gig, Harlequin Festival and Glastonbudget among many others. Highlights of their musical journey have been supporting luminaries Chas and Dave on their 2014 tour, warming up for Sir Bob Geldolf and The Boomtown Rats at the Great British Alternative Music Weekender at Butlin’s Skegness as well as providing warm up for the likes of Pete Docherty, The Wonderstuff and the now retired poetical musical comedy genius KATG. Clearly illustrating their flexibility and appeal to audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds going down a storm and building their following at every gig they play.

When they visited The Portland Arms last year it was a sell-out gig, don’t miss them this time!

Girl from The Fens

THE OUSE VALLEY SINGLES CLUB
If you are unfamiliar with The Ouse Valley Singles Club or have yet to catch their live show then you are in for quite a treat. Possibly one of the most original bands currently doing the live circuit they’re kicking up a fair bit of interest. Hailing from the historical multicultural metropolis market town that is Bedford The OVSC are Tim Barron (Compare/Vocalist/Ukulele), Amy Martell (vocals/Bass), Uncle Sam Saunders (vocals / toasting / Washboard), Slim Jim Morton (Snare) and sometimes member Neil Whittington (guitar). 
Fully self-promoted with the aid of their online videos and huge social media presence they gigged solidly almost every weekend over the last two years. Laying claim to being one of the hardest working bands around honing their craft and stage show and cementing their place as East Anglia’s Number 1 New Wave Comedy Skiffle band building a massive underground following of loyal Fans as they go.
 Heavily influenced by the sounds & traditions of 1950’s Skiffle they combine this long forgotten genre with the energy of Punk, whilst occasionally dropping in some Rub n dub reggaesque urban flavours into the mix and then layer this melange with hilarious Folk-like story-telling, often crossing the parameters of what is deemed to be politically correct but still keeping it real as the kids would say. In doing this, they have created a truly original & highly entertaining sound that has been dubbed by some as “New Wave Skiffle” and described by others as 'George Formby meets The Clash’ A kind of Vaudeville/Music Hall Working Men’s club mash up.  Their live show gives a hysterical observational account of everyday life and tales of woe with a razor sharp observational narrative whilst simultaneously rocking the crowds with infectious earworms. 
Last year they packed out the main arena to capacity at the Peterborough Beer Festival and drew 1000s of revellers when they opened on the main stage at Bedford’s River Festival so no strangers to big crowds. They’ve also done their fair share of festivals under their belts as well having performed at Boomtown, Bestival, Rhythmtree, Nozstock, Mosley Folk, Lunar Festival, Truckfest, Rhythms of The World festival, Henry’s Little Big Gig, Illusive, Harlequin Festival, The BMF British motorbike Federation and Hot Rod Custom Car Show at Peterborough Show Ground and Glastonbudget’s Icon Stage, among many others. Personal highlights of The OVSC musical journey have been supporting luminaries Chas and Dave on their 2014 tour, opening on the Saturday afternoon warming up for Sir Bob Geldolf and The Boomtown Rats at the Great British Alternative Music Weekender at Butlin’s Skegness as well as providing warm up for the likes of Pete Docherty, The Wonderstuff and the now semi-retired poetical controversial musical comedy genius that is KATG. Clearly illustrating the flexibility and appeal to audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds. Going down a storm and building the OVSC following every gig they play.
