About Me

Tall Stories are the song-centric bastard brainchild of North London residents Rob McCabe, Liam Ward and Saul Eisenberg. Since forming early 2007 they have performed variously in several London venues including Hackney squats and Chinese restaurants, mostly to bemused audiences though nowdays they seem to be enjoying themselves better. Their sound could best be described as Lonnie Donnegan skipping bail at The Kinks’ house.
