The Mangledwurzels
are a three-piece Scrumpy & Western band based in Somerset
consisting of Hedge Cutter on lead vocals and percussion, Jethro
Tool on electronikal wurzelhorns and vocals, and Seth Pitt on guitars,
bass drum and vocals. More
than just a Wurzels tribute band, The Mangledwurzels
play Wurzels songs, old and new, blended with self-penned titles
and pop standards 'Mangled' in true Wurzels tradition. A typical
show with contain at least one third original and 'mangled' songs.
Formed
in 2005, The Mangledwurzels are all experienced
musicians who have graced a wide variety of stages and venues throughout
the country. In previous bands, Hedge and Seth both played at the
2000 Glastonbury Festival on the same stage as The Wurzels; and
have supported Thre Wurzels on several occassions. Seth's Scrumpy
& Western roots stretch back to the early 1970s when he was
part of The Scrumpy Bashers (compare
and contrast those pictures!)
The
Mangledwurzels effortlessly convey their innate sense of fun and
humour to their audiences both through the song lyrics and their
performance, and can be guaranteed to satisfy any size of audience
regardless of age, gender or musical preferences. Based in the West
Country, with the majority of the band born and bred in Somerset,
The Mangledwurzels are in the ideal position to produce a genuine
West Country Scrumpy & Western sound.
