FOR ONE YEAR ONLY

Press Release

The group began its early life as 'Edward The Second and the Red Hot Polkas' after forming in Cheltenham in 1984. They Signed to Cooking Vinyl and released two albums (Polkasteady and 2 Step to Heaven). They then moved to the Pure Bliss Label with Pete Lawrence (Cooking Vinyl, Big Chill) and released the highly acclaimed album 'Wicked Men' in 1991.

This period proved to be the most fruitful and the band toured the world whilst notching some 200+ shows per year
