about
Live recordings from the Buxton Festival Fringe, Barrel Room, July 2008.


This album was recorded live on an inexpensive hand-held recorder in front of an audience of barely double figures, and consists of a number of traditional songs prepared at short notice by a trio that, having never performed before, to this day have never performed since.

It celebrates almost exactly five years of the concept Full Metal Waistcoat, a collective of at least two, at times three (though never again these three), not so much a band as a band name people liked the sound of. The justification for this release, if such is required, may be a dawning realisation that most of our supposed fanbase have never seen us live, and may never again have the chance to do so.

It will be apparent that in the quest for a polished end product, no effort has been expended, nor expense incurred. All manners of mistakes, feedback, bumpings into of microphones and giggling have been faithfully preserved for your repeated enjoyment. What editing has been done serves merely to emphasise the set in favour of material penned by more traditional artists; that is to say, those who are sufficiently dead for the legal system of the United Kingdom to have by now lost interest in preserving their rights.

We hope the issuing of this three year old recording puts to bed any suggestion that the band might be finished, or in any way past its prime. See you for the inevitable greatest hits tour in around five years time.
