Anyone seen them recently?

I bought A Singsong & A Scrap the other day and was most impressed with it.

I wondered whether this was Blues or Folk related, so I clicked on the link given above:
"Having two years of acoustic concerts under their belts, Chumbawamba looked at their most recent album and decided it sounded a decade old. People at gigs asked if they could buy "the album which sounded most like tonight," and the band felt that, no, none of their albums caught the show as it stands today. It's pop, folk, acapella, politics, humour, four-part harmony and five-part anger. It's singalongs and hymns, throwaways and big choruses, old favourites, covers and unreleased songs."

Sounds like it's in the right place!

Loved 'Singsong and a Scrap'. Accurate and tight musically, clever and witty lyrics. Wish I could do that!
