DESCRIPTION:Adrian Edmondson and The Bad Shepherds play punk songs on fol
 k instruments. Not as a gag\, but because they really like the noise. Th
 ey think the songs are better than people remember. They love folk instr
 uments. It works. They do songs by The Sex Pistols\, The Clash\, The Str
 anglers\, The Jam\, Sham 69\, The Undertones\, The Ramones\, The Buzzcoc
 ks\, The Specials\, Talking Heads\, Squeeze and others\, even Kraftwerk!
  Alright\, they're not all punk\, but they come from roughly the same er
 a. They've mostly given the songs a kind of Celtic feel\, and they've st
 uck in the odd reel and jig here and there. But occassionally they just 
 thrash! They've always thought the excitement of a reel taking off is th
 e nearest thing to the excitement of watching punk live in the 70's.\n\n
