STOP PRESS - RESCUED TOUR DATES!
It’s been a weird couple of weeks. Three days before our tour was due to begin our promoter/manager
suddenly stopped answering his phone and sent an email saying he was ‘withdrawing from the project’…
Anyway, he’s no longer part of the set up, as you can probably imagine, but it was difficult for us to take
over the tour the way it was set up.
We’re really sorry for the inconvenience we’ve put you through if you’d bought a ticket.
And not a little pissed off ourselves for the gigs we’ve missed.
Though we did manage to rescue the two Pocklington Arts Centre gigs which went down a storm.
HOWEVER – we are in the process of rescuing some more gigs. And adding some others.

If you don’t know what The Bad Shepherds are about, here’s me talking about it:

Here’s two weird little videos:

(Though Eimear Bradley has since left the band to pursue a solo career)
And here’s what I think :
I love the songs of 76 - 82. I was 19 in 76 when punk arrived. Those songs were the soundtrack to my life
as I went through Uni and started pretending to be a comedian. I loved the noise, the faces and the attitude.
I love making music. Got my first guitar when I was 13 and along the way I've picked up ten other guitars,
a banjo, a ukelele, two trumpets, a banjolele, a mandolin, an autoharp, a charanga, two pianos, a tenor
guitar, a triangle and even made myself some Coconuts (made - strangely enough - from a coconut).
I also love folk music, I love the noise - at its live best its the most exciting music to be in the same room with.
It occured to me that punk was the folk music of its day.
I decided to form a band to reflect all of the above.
It would be great if you came along for the ride.
Cheers
Adrian
