The Spookies are baaaack! And are coming to a venue near you Brits,from July 17 - September 6.

who are they? as described by the Irish Times, they are ...an unlikely 10-strong legion of Antipodeans, populated, it seemed, by the motley scions of a Kazakh goat herder, a Cuban revolutionary, Audie Murphy, Abraham Lincoln, Hill Street Blues' Mick (aka Animal), a
Nebraskan woodcutter, Roberto Benigni - and Biggles. Evidently schooled in the Stanislavski method, the Spooky Men championed the power of pointless grandeur, and tickled their rapt audience with such life-enhancing gems as Am I Not Pretty Enough?, Don't Stand Between a Man and His Tool and the mother of all protest songs, Stop Scratching It, You're Only Making It Worse. High camp, epic folly: probably the best programming choice of the entire summer festival circuit.

They'll be at Brampton, The Sage Gateshead,Oxford,The Stables Wavendon Milton Keynes, Warwick Folk Festival,Cambridge, Newman Hall, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol,Bexhill,Stokes Bay Festival, Sidmouth Folk Week, Clee St Margarets,Thropton - Croketdale,Durham,Castle Douglas,
