Anybody into The Wolfetones? Their older material is brilliant but lately they've started using keyboards which takes a way the seriousness of the songs? Check out the song Joe McDonnel!

For ages I had only their Belt of Celts (and a bunch of unsorted mp3's). Now i am a happy owner of double Golden Ballads(thanks Zuzana)
and yes, I like them...

Great band. I have Belt Of the Celts (thanks, MacRua! ;)) and double Golden Ballads and honour all the three CDs with the place in my player frequently.

I believed they played last night in a pub called the Norbury - I in fact past this place on the way back from Selhurst!

UGH!

Do you think I could convince anyone to not go to a shittttttey nightclub and go there instead. Mind my friends are English - :roll:

Anyway....................................................

I saw them two weeks ago and they played Rifles for the first time in 35 years and they fucked it up. There were only 70 of us there so it wasn't their best attended gig but hey it was great fun (except for their opening act)
