The lead singer (Niall O’Flaherty) is the best history lecturer I’ve ever had. He teaches a course on the Enlightenment at King’s College London. Freaked out when I found out about this.

@@kennethocongerskin9460 ahah.. got ya. Lets just have this anarchic weirdness continue. Some of us are younger than 50 and pander to music that is real. That this is.I'll have a gander but i think i might have a John Peel recording of this. As in a session. I might be wrong.
