My kids love them, they're playing at Eclectica, a free festival in St Helenson Saturday so we may go and have a listen

The full line-up:
11.00am Streetwaves - Merseyside Showcase
2.00pm                The Lancashire Hotpots
2.45pm                Josephine Grace (Streetwaves Winner)
3.15pm                Giant Root Attack
4.00pm                The Aclyrics
4.45pm                The Poems
5.30pm                John Power (ex Cast and The La's)
6.45pm                Little Man Tate
8.15pm                Echo & the Bunnymen
9.30pm                Close

It may not be that folkie but it's free- Oysterband played there last year.

The Hotpots are also supporting the Damned in September.
