Band Members:Featuring: Wal Weird (Fiddle) Weird Paddy (Guitar) and JB The Furry Weird one (Bass)The band has a combined age of three hundred years. Admittedly, this does encompass the age of all of their instruments, but none the less this age, experience and (dare we say it?) maturity is reflected in the scope of their music, the wealth of their knowledge, and their peculiar addiction to Murray Mints.
Influences: The Wierdstring Band, a wholly intriguing (and completely unexpected) mixture of fiddle, double bass and the Acoustic guitar, bring you all of those elements and, just for good measure, chuck in some more bits of falk, gypsy swung, heavy rick, skoo, home-fired treasures and flar-flung flotsam, and jetson. The main influence seems to be beer, and laughing. Think of the last time you laughed uncontrollably, then try to play an instrument at the same time.
Sounds Like: If you've ever wondered what it's like to hear modern rock and disco classics played wrong with a big dollop of traditional folk and choral music thrown in you'll still be a bit confused... If you know what it sounds like tell me. Really, do tell us if you've any better ideas...
Some quotes from our fans...... 'Nice people but odd'.... 'Great if you like that sort of thing'..... 'I don't remember it quite like that'...... 'Vaugely familiar!'. 'Intimidatingly Funny',
Please tell us more.. or give us beer and we'll play music for you.
