That’s a new one for me.

[Cliff Edge]

I stray into the Reddit bass forums from time to time where the youngsters have introduced me to genres of rock that I have never heard of before. 
I’m watching Countryfile at the moment and it’s from a Somerset farm setting up for a small music festival. 
And some Scrumpy and Western music. Can’t wait to hear what that sounds like. I just hope it’s not The Wurzles.

Hang on, the youngsters on Reddit turned you on to Countryfile ?

 

 F**king hipsters ruin everything!

Nowt wrong with the Wurzels, they be on EMI back in the day 😆

Some say the 70s was the pinnacle of music.

We play gigs in the same local pub where that album cover was photographed and was recorded. Rich will know it too as he lives in the same town.

That was OutCider Festival which is one of four festivals  by Fuelled By Cider, which my band are heavily involved in running.

Scrumpy'n'western was pretty much invented by The Wurzels, but there were lots of other acts doing similar stuff from the 60s onwards. These days it tends to be more of a folk/punk type vibe.

Hey, don’t judge me, sometimes there’s just nothing else to do.

We didn’t get to hear much of the music but the festival looked like a lot of fun.

Record digging win of the century was finding a SIGNED Wurzels album in CYPRUS. I tried getting a fiver off because it was scribbled on. He pointed out that (a) it was definitely signed and (b) "no one else is going to buy that shite" so I got a fiver off anyway.

Win win all around I'd say

My friend bought a DB from their bassist. He was a nice guy.

We've done 50+ support gigs for The Wurzels over the last 10 years -  those guys are total professionals who have earned respect. Pete and Tommy are in their late 70s and early 80s and still doing 70 sold out shows every year.

Mind you, some of the stories they've told us from their 70s heydays.....🤐

As a prior resident of the SW I can confirm that these men are gods.

Crikey I had no idea they were still about. I saw them once long ago and it was an excellent show

Which one was John Pertwee  ??

He died in 1976, bizarre gardening incident involving a prize winning marrow. The band don't like talking about it.

Can't say I watch Countryfile, but r/basscirclejerk can be quite funny sometimes.

Only in the US of A, I suppose. Elsewhere, they're a delicacy, especially in Northern UK.

Speaking as someone from the Yorkshire Dales, I love a couple of faggots at midday and sometimes in the evening as well. The more the merrier.

I was at a music festival in Somerset last week. They had doom metal, black metal, prog metal, post metal, blackened post metal, symphonic metal, pagan folk metal, deathcore and blackened doom metal. No Wurzels
