Totally Acoustic: The Lime Chalks - The Lamb

One of the chaps at the front is called Duncan, I follow his twitter feed. I'm not sure which chap is Duncan. They both look it, the tall one and the short one, they both have Duncannish hair.

I think they're nice and dreamy. Ukelele, guitar, melodica, glockenspiel and cello. The same sort of droney sound as Wintergreen.

Okay, not droney, just the way the cello goes with 'Duncan's' vocal harmonies. I guess droney is close enough.

A little serious and musical. I love the occasionally noodley uke, it reminds me of Trumpton.

Totally Acoustic: The Fighting Cocks - The Lamb

So aye, years ago there was a thread on the old Jockrock messageboard about The Fighting Cocks, debating whether they were a real band or just taking the piss, some kind of spoof. I never clicked on the link, I think I was in an internet cafe and couldn't hear owt. Anyhoo, that was years ago, and now here I am in the presense of The Fighting Cocks.

Almost 'crimping'. Kind of a bit like playground rhymes. Nineties Manda Rin write it?

Lots of giggling.

Played the first song again at the end, which was nice.

Its the combination of dyed hair and undercut that makes me think 'Troll'.

Totally Acoustic: MJ Hibbett - The Lamb

Who is Black Bolt? Some sulky comic hero, I think.

In 'Lesson of The Smiths', I've always wondered, isn't it pronounced 'eh pit oh me' instead of 'eh pit oam'.
