Band Members: Uncle Beesly Uncle Beesly is mostly a bass player but is sometimes known for his bizarro country-punk guitar playing with elmo rockers Gummi Bako. He has played with many Fence luminaries...too many to mention here but suffice to say - they were big and they were luminous. He has been widdling away on the bass since 1936 and one day hopes to be as good as that long-armed bloke out of New Order. He has given up touring for now and has opened up a daycare centre for Mexican orphans. One day he hopes to train them up to form a Spagetti Western Orchestra to perform his songs and star in his "movies". He hopes to film the first of these next year on Salisbury Crags and this will form a backdrop for his greatest hit 'El Topo' (172 in the Tijuana billboard charts 1974) which will be re-released by Fence Records (though they have foolishly not yet confirmed this) next year. He's already had offers from many big Fife directors looking to work with him, oh yes.Pimp My Profile
