Six Hands in Tempo did a 25th anniversary reunion gig recently at Carrington Folk Club, and were still good. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers are good too. I recently bought an album by Deaf Shepherd, mainly on the basis of the name - a reference to Def Leppard, in turn a reference to Led Zeppelin). There is also a Tone Deaf Leppard, I think. Rocky Sharpe and the Replays had a female singer called Helen Highwater. And she was very good indeed. Reading some sleeve notes yesterday, I came across a reference to someone called Monika Pramstaller. I have a rockabilly album by Johnny Legend and his Rockabilly Bastards. There's a very good anarcho-punk band called the Rudimentary Peni. Someone else mentioned the skinhead musical quartet, The Four Skins. Then there's the plainly descriptive "Screeching Weasel". A friend uses the nom de plume of Quince Cheese. I have sometimes toyed with the idea of building a "punk" Morris Fool's persona around the name "Dreadful Tosh".
