The Medusa Fora

any one heard or like the sultans of ping and or family mahone?

'yup.
Family Mahone are Mark Radcliffe (of Radio ! Mark and Lard fame) his band.I saw them supporting Shane And the Popes on Paddy day couple years ago at Shepherds Bush.And they were brilliant.Lots of drinking songs.Mark himself playing the skiffle drum at the frnt and singing
!
Sultans of Ping...Wheres me jumper ,Wheres me jumper............ you can get a free lp off the web somewhere.

The Family Mahone opened the Cambridge folk fest last year, and I'd agree with duncan, they're a brilliant live act. I think Mark Radcliffe introduced every song by saying, "This is a drinking song..."

Any websites we can listen to them on?

I've always wanted to hear Family Mahone.

Don't worry someone will know.

Someone.

How about trying their website? There are couple tracks in the Sounds and Pictures section. (Though hardly the best ones.)
And yep, FM are great - even when playing "non-live", only from the loudspeakers.

Thanks Zuzana.

At work, will have to check later. Thanks Zuzana.

You poor sod, working on a Saturday, I feel so sorry for you.

As you said Zuzana, not their best (not that I've heard any of their stuff).

Yeah, it's hard old graft alright.


I don't really mind, started at 10, finished at 5 and not back until Tuesday morning..

Oh well, at least you've got two days off together.
