their recordings don't do them justice, but the guy in the band is a cracking songwriter, and won a national award last year

Not really into folk music at all but if you get the chance go and hear the copper familly really good and their local based been doing folk music for generations.

Well tl, they had better be better than the song they thoughtfully decided to represent them on their own myspace site!

Rubbish lyrics, bad vocals and timing, awful out-of-tune harmonizing.
That, over a trite sounding 'tune' that sounds like a weakly attempted Vashti Bunyan.

One instrument on each track has a redeeming quality so far - sounds like a harp on the first, violin on the second pogue-ish (but nowhere near as enigmatic) song. They'd have to do much better than this.

I remember when Phil Beer lived in Beaconsfield Villas - just round the corner from where I lived at the time. Nice bloke.
