GUEST,Scott Clements New Modern Idiot Grunt Band Remember? (25) RE: New Modern Idiot Grunt Band Remember? 18 Feb 12


I first met Rod Felton in 1965 (man I,m old)at the Heart of England Folk Club in Leamington Spa.In those days he was principly a blues man.He, and Rob Armstrong were regular floor singers at the club, both as soloists, and as the Grunt Band.Other regulars included June Tabor, Polly Bolton,Nigel Jenkins etc.halcyon days.Rod was also part of the Fenny Compton Coke Shovellers,a loose collective of regulars,we would turn up en masse at other folk clubs,and perform a cappella songs like Pinball Wizard to the tune of the White Cockade and Clementine to the tune Cym Ronda. Both men were great musicians and entertainers,and the Grunt Band was an inspired partnership,if some one out there could arrange a re-union,I will be first in the queue.
