You can call a glimpse into the post-apocalyptic landscape of what will be lost and what will still remain as human beings confront the inevitable consequences of wilfully self-inflicted unsustainability "not anywhere near folk" if you really want to. I would however maintain that there is a vast amount of actual dross passing in some quarters for "f*lk" that needs urgent and immediate drowning in the imminent dereliction of the fast-approaching floodplains.

Performances from this ad hoc superband, The Remnant Kings, are just one of Jon Boden's concurrent projects: the Bellowhead tour is not long over and the new Spiers & Boden duo tour due to launch soon.

Far from leaving his roots behind him, he is taking elements of traditional tunes to new places. Why, he's even taken up the melodeon (with apologies to a member of the audience called Mr Spiers!) All lyrics on Songs From The Floodplain are self-written but one is set to a traditional tune. But once on stage, the connections are even clearer as Sam Sweeney and Rob Harbron strike up trad tunes as intro links and Jon is now prefacing Josephine from his first solo album with Bonny Bunch Of Roses. Neat eh?
