Hop Man Jr aka Country Joe

About Me

!-Remove Maroon Menu Bar Band Page !- Author: Eileen (with some help from Hop Man Jr!) Hop Man Jr brings you nauseating noise resulting from dizzying bouts of insomnia, as exemplified in the songs above.

I also synth it up as part of the mighty GNOD . Head over to the MySpace, have a listen, check the vids and get yourself some vinyl, why dont ya?

I'm an organ donor for Martin Bramah's excellent new band FACTORY STAR , with Paul and Steve Hanley.

Also, Country Joe and Der Fisch bring you the finest talent from everywhere and the greatest records from everywhen, respectively. All this every other Tuesday at Trof, Landcross Rd (next to Queen Of Hearts), Fallowfield.

Keep an eye on my gigs box on this page for shows and events from all of the above and hopefully I'll see you at one thing or the other!
