Les Cox (Sportifs) - Total Straightness

Three guys fresh off the hebridean folk circuit take time out of their hectic ceilidh schedule to play something a little more, how shall we say, American? Making the leap from the tabor to the more conventinal drum kit is old Harrovian Christo Wallers, while Micheal J Patterson swaps his viola for an electric guitar,bass and keyboard, and Pea Sea (who usually 'calls' and dances for a living) plays electric guitar and sings. In a sense they play 'modern' folk songs, taking tales from everyday life. Of course, punk has happened, so folk can never be the same again, a fact which this band have tried to understand and accommodate in their music.

OR!

When Woman created God, she had Les Cox in Mind. We are a politically correct band from the North East, harmoniously mixing males from different social backgrounds in a successful integration project. He plays drums, he plays guitar and bass and he plays guitar and sings. What can we say? The Royal We that is. I can safely say that when you hear the musique of Les Cox Sportifs, it can feel good. Live, we Aid. Recorded, we delivery. Downloaded, we torrential.
