Adrian Edmondson’s Folk Punk Explosion - The Bad Shepherds

Hello, I’m Adrian the Bad Shepherd. This is my band.

These are some truths I know:

  • I love the songs of ‘76 - ‘82. I was 19 in ‘76 when punk arrived. Those songs were the soundtrack to my life as I went through Uni and started pretending to be a comedian. I loved the noise, the faces and the attitude.
  • I love making music. Got my first guitar when I was 13 and along the way I’ve picked up ten other guitars, a banjo, a ukelele, two trumpets, a banjolele, a mandolin, an autoharp, a charanga, two pianos, a tenor guitar, a triangle and even made myself some ‘Coconuts’ (made - strangely enough - from a coconut).
  • I love folk music, I love the noise - at its live best it’s the most exciting music to be in the same room with.
  • It occured to me that punk was the folk music of its day.

I decided to form a band to reflect all of the above.

It would be great if you came along for the ride.

Cheers

Adrian

New Year’s Eve ‘Bad Taste Ball’ »

£20 Tickets Only

 

Well as the washer woman of time shake’n’vacs the shag pile carpet of eternity, I notice that it’s that time of year again…and with it comes our customary costume carouse. This year’s antics will be held under the ‘Bad Taste’ banner and really ANYTHING goes…the more cringe worthy the better. Telford’s will be a politically correct free zone, crimes against fashion, crimes against humanity, no taboos and nothing is sacred…let your imagination run riot, this is going to be a classic!
