I heard some of their stuff on the radio a while ago, but I don't know
what vintage it was, and they seem to have several albums available. Can
anyone provide any more information ?

I used to be a fan of this lot. They had a brilliant album which they
brought out prior to the 1987 election called 'Never mind the Ballots'.
Although now, with mention of Kinnock and Thatcher, it sounds pretty
outdated, when the play live they play the same songs but with
up-to-date lyrics.
Lately, I've only seen them live once and they were okay, they have a
habit of dressing up in different costumes as the evening conitinues,
nurses uniforms for songs about the NHS, army uniform for songs about
nuclear weapons, etc.
Their more recent studio stuff, in my opinion is crap, but if you get
the chance to see them live, take it, it's an experience.

I heard a Chumbawamba/Credit to the Nation collaboration on the Peel
show the other day, and right good it was too - kind of dance/reggae
feel with loud guitars and a very catchy chorus. Can't remember what it
was called, though.....

Can anyone tell me what date their playing at
the Reading Rivermead. They are supposed to be
supporting The Levellers
I also saw them about 6 months ago at the Trade Union
they were excellent.
