Rob had been a founder member of jazz-punk collossals ‘The Cravats’ and indie-beat combo ‘The Very Things’.
Rob and Tony dragged Ms. Parker out of the pub, plugged her in, cranked her up and started digging her a pool. And it filled up with 1970’s soul and funk, the Coen Brothers, Be-Bop, David Lynch, groovy Californian Pop, Miles Davis.

Attila’s appearance is part of the launch tour for his autobiography ‘Arguments Yard’, published by Cherry Red Books in September. He will be compering the event, reading extracts from his book, and will also be performing his own set of poems and songs.
The book is social history and personal story combined: a cultural activist’s eyewitness journey through the great political battles and movements of recent times.

We are The White Feather Collective. We are a British 4 piece Surf/Psych band based in Malvern, at the heart of the English countryside. The band consists of drums, bass, electric guitar and vocals/acoustic guitar/ Harmonica The band is able to present a high-energy performance, incorporating many aspects that made the late 1960s the golden era for music. The sound of band could be considered close to that of ‘The Rolling Stones’, ‘The Doors’, ‘Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac’ and perhaps ‘The Black Keys’ The White Feather Collective aims to boast an immersive, life changing live set; along with well considered recordings that take elements from an era of music where it didn’t matter what one looked like.
