The book set Traditions of Lancashire vols 1 & 2 by John Roby
Flyer from an ancient and primitive bass player (me!) asking people to join or form an electric folk band playing traditional music but with heavy psych, drone, folk rock & garage rock as musical influences. Bevis Frond, Billy Childish, Black Sabbath, Steeleye Span and Galaxie 500 are also mentioned as possible influences. The band will be leftwing and inclusive!
