SATURDAY HEADLINER
The Wurzels – Legends of the West Country, best known for their Hits of the 70’s, Combine Harvester, I am a Cider Drinker, The Blackbird Song, Morning Glory, Drink Up thy Zider, etc. now have a huge cult following throughout the U.K.
In 1976 The Wurzels hit jackpot with their hit ‘Combine Harvester’ which was a parody of Melanie’s Brand New Key. It made No 1 and sold over 500,000 copies in the U.K. alone. The B-side ‘Blackbird’ was No 1 in Canada. This was followed up by ‘Cider Drinker’, which rocketed up the charts, giving the group a No 3 hit and their second silver disc for sales over the 250,000 mark in a matter of weeks. Their third single ‘Morning Glory’ sold 40,000 in the first week .
Twenty-five years after their number one smash ‘Combine Harvester’, The Wurzels were back in the Top 40 Hit Parade with a Remix. They followed this in the summer of 2003 with their OO-AR-SIS parody of the Oasis hit ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger; taken from their album ‘NEVER MIND THE BULLOCKS’.
The single generated unprecedented interest not only from clubbers and DJs, but also in the national press, on TV and radio – and BBC Radio 1 Also E.M.I. released “The Finest ‘Arvest of The Wurzels.” featuring tracks recorded between 1966 and 1978 by The Wurzels – and the late, great Adge Cutler which has sold over 100,000 copies.
The Wurzels continue to play over 100 sell-out shows throughout the UK every year. They are Festival favourites at Glastonbury, Bestival, Boomtown Fair, Car Fest, Wychwood, Beautiful Days etc.
This bunch of haystack-headed, not- quite- so-young lads have long paved the way for Scrumpy n Western – a genre packed full of double entendre, mainstream parody and a comical folk style – the perfect accompaniment to cider drinking.
