I've heard that Pegleg Ferret have reformed quite recently. Has anyone caught up with them anywhere - how are they sounding?

well I have'nt actually seen them doing anything, but I was co compering a memorial concert with Benny Graham a few weeks ago and he told me they had reformed and were ready to do gigs.

Saw them at the Black Swan York last year about April time (if it's the same line up) and they were excellent

Yes, Pegleg Ferret are once again struttin' their stuff and will be appearing at Kiveton Park Folk Club (near Sheffield) on Tuesday 17th of May. Last seen there about 25 years ago and this will be a most welcome return. Should be a great night!

Minus their late roadie, Barry the fairly accurate trucker (who got left behind in Harrow and played the drum for Flowers of May)....

Ferrets are illegal in Queensland.

Indeed the ferret limps again..Benny Graham , Geoff Anderson and Keith Pollard back together and enjoying the singing after a brief career break. The new album is out on harbourtown records and is available online at either www.peglegferret.com or www.bennygraham.com.

I believe the ferrets are appearing at Holmfirth festival this year.

Hmmm, if they want to come out to Queensland - they might team up with the Govt Dept - the publicity would work both ways... $60,000.00 fine for having a ferret here....

I actually was in touch with the ferret manager guy a while ago (we saw a ferret in Newmarket!) - he is quite keen to find ways to get the message across.
