Who Is Corky?

Corky is an acoustic indie-folk singer-songwriter with a West Country twist - songs are about historic stories: mad monks, barmaids eaten by tigers and lost villages, as well as childhood angst, stalkers and chav anthems from the weird and wonderful world of Wiltshire. Growing up among circles - both man-made of stone and alien-made of corn - this is a world where legends of 1,000 years ago are still spoken of as if it were last week. Brought up on a diet of Peter, Paul and Mary and Simon & Garfunkel, it wasn't until The Wurzels hit number one during a fierce drought in 1976 that he heard the music to which he belonged. Have a listen to Now That You Know or The Ballad of Albie Nash on his MySpace site, and see if that isn't modern Scrumpy & Western music.
