About Me

Ade Webb has been formulating his own brand of folk, beat 'n' roll for the past years in the hope that someone may listen. He sings with a loud talking voice, recounting tales of one-armed gypsy fiddlers, stilt-walking penny whistlers and the rest of the freaks reality left behind. He wields his acoustic guitar and tootles on his harmonica as if his life depends on it, and will continue to do so until someone offers convincing proof to the contrary.. Catch him before he splits up and releases some dire solo albums. For the record (as it were) the songs up here were heartily produced by Mr Paddy Tobin.
