About Me

Download our albums on iTunes

Musicians without an audience? Selfish bastards! That's why Houghmagandie got going. Whilst sitting about one day with their thumbs inserted in their posteriors, they hit upon a novel idea: why not form a band that people might actually want to listen to!
And that's been Houghmagandie's raison d'etre ever since; give the punters what they want - even if it is Old MacDonald
