Crokodile Tears

Crokodile Tears are an electro/rock/pyschedelic folk duo from Coventry. They have released several albums and E. P.'s in England and regard themselves as, 'as English as tea'. Their, 'My Favourite Weather-girl' about Central T. V.'s Charlie Neil is championed by the lady herself and is featured on several fan sites as well as Central T. V.'s. Many of singer/guitarist Christopher Sidwell's songs are observational and are based on his life growing up in Coventry. New song,'Gullibles Travels (Coventry song)' is a trawl through Chris's favourite bits of the city and another, 'Cathedral Lanes' is about him being 'dumped' in the city-centre shopping arcade of that name. Multi-instrumentalist Alf Hardy has produced and played on albums with Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom. The duo have recorded with fellow Coventry musicians the Ripps, guitarist/producer Paul Sampson, former Hawkwind guitarist Jerry Richards, ex-Tubilah Dog Banni & Coventry's very own 'Ringo', Robin Hill on drums. Their most recent album, 'Gullibles Travels' is available through Holland's Catapilla distribution & for download through i Tunes.
