The new Kings of the Westcountry folk punk scene. We as all been in local bands fer a number of yers, but after a hard days drinking scrumpy we as decided ta unite and spread the Word of the Westcountry - ther place where all folk speaks like pirates. It d'occur to us that nobody new is takin up the Westcountry flame from they old boys the Wurzels. In a world where antiglobalization is the buzz word we as decided ta go local and tell da world about the Westcountry and sing in our own dialect rather'n imitate the language of big corporate business. We be all about having a right proper laaf and our recent couple o' gigs as had the whole crowd stompin, screamin and yellin fer more zo much zo we as decided ter right proper go fer it this yer. We is trying ter sort out some more gigs at the moment so if ee could possibly finds a way to play our favourite tunes we would be right proper thankfull. Cheers me babbers We loves yer! The Turnip Boys. Ar - time to take on the scurvy Aristocracy and make them bleeders walk the plank.
