Covid 19 don’t keep The Pubs down. We did a tune, all remote but still together!
This song is called Naked Body, it’s about lust, repression, and dairy squirty cream.
Back before all the covid bollocks happened we played splendid gigs to lovely people. This song is called McManus and it was recorded at The Cabbage Patch Twickenham.

The Melton Mowbray Christmas Folk Trail is completly free and takes place in pubs and restaurants in the town centre of Melton Mowbray.
It is organised by the Melton Folk Club and features a huge roster of acts from all over the country. We love it!!
The following is from the Melton Folk website and sums up the vibe of the fest and their splendid attitude to music and creative performance:
"We encourage a wide variety of styles within our club, almost to the point of "All Music is Folk Music". From Medieval and Renaissance lute music and song, through folk song and dance of later centuries, to the more recent folk revival and singer/songwriter genre. We also encourage the reading and writing of poetry as an adjunct to the music. We embrace the various traditions of music of the British Isles and the Blues and Country music of the USA, along with less well known styles of the rest of the world"

The 14 legged beast that ought to know better.
Our favourite pub closed and we wrote a song about it. That turned out all right so we wrote some more. Now there’s seven of us and a heard of songs about drinking, having the craic, nudity and dairy squirty cream. Life is shit and we’ll all be dead soon but there’s no need to get a face on about it, let’s get shitfaced and have a knees-up. Love The Pubs xxx
From left to right The Publicans are:
Craig Palmer guitar vocals spoons, Vania Vitillo vocals guitar bass,
Lindsay Gee whistle vocals, Peeg vocals mandolin, Stew Black bass vocals,
Simon Lambert drums vocals, Jon Bull piano
