Seen at a folk club not a million miles from Windsor - The Understaines (not hard to guess where they came from!)

Nigel Mooney's Hip Operation from dublin; not only do they have an awful name, but they're pretty good too. What about the Funking Barstewards?? Roger Ruskin Spear & His Giant Orchestral Wardrobe (aka his giant kinetic wardrobe) is #1 IMHO.

We have "The Bluegrass Souls" here in Australia. Said very fast.
My American true-love and I are sometimes: "Ida Clare and Jessoffel".
Does a duo qualify as a band?

I've always wanted to have a band named Rampant Apathy...

My first garage band was named after our keyboard player's mother because she allowed us to practice in her house -- then band was called "Mrs. Rizzo". My brother sat in on occassion with The Lemon Pipers. Then there were Atomic Roosters, Foghat...there's a Florida Folk band called "Sno Rogers" after a fictional baseball player...We're thinking of renaming our current band as "Grumpy Old Men". Maybe the Spaw and Cletus Roadside Review.

My above entry should have read Ida Clare and Jess Orval. Sometimes we are Myrtle Green and Bracken Brown if we are in Scottish mode.
Also in Australia in the 70s there was "The Black Velvet Band" Someone must have used "The Blue Velvet Band" surely.

Them (Van Morrison's band in the mid 60s)

Norfolk and Good (say it quickly!)

Pickled Tink (dunno if there's such a band, but it sounds like there should be!!)

I've been involved with:
50-cent Tour
WheelWell (in case someone asked how we sounded, spoken like Elmer Fudd)
and currently Toulouse Cruise (aka Two Loose Screws)...

if someone is looking for a band name, I think that if you are towards an Irish/Celtic base, that "Dervish" could work, especially if high-energy is the norm...
