The Mangledwurzels are a three-piece band capable
of providing a performance intimate enough for the smallest of venue,
pub or club, or big enough for a large outdoor event or indoor arena
such as the Mid-Somerset Show or Bath Pavilion. The Mangledwurzels
effortlessly convey their innate sense of fun and humour to their
audiences both through the song lyrics and their performance. The
Mangledwurzels can be guaranteed to satisfy any size of audience
regardless of age, gender or musical preferences.
 
You can listen to and download The Mangledwuzels
Sampler containing clips

Harvester, Chitterlings, I Can Drive A Tractor,
Scrumpy Jack, and I Am A Cider Drinker.
A
further four tracks are available
to hear in their entirety on
The Mangledwurzels MySpace page - Get Orf My Land!,

The bands requirements are minimal:
-
A performance space large enough to fit three musicians, one set
of keyboards, a bass drum and a PA.
- Two
power points within easy reach.
- Parking
for three cars, preferably with easy access for loading and unloading.
- Some
place to get changed - nothing too plush is required; but asking
them to 'change in the gents toilets' is not on! Only one venue
did that (while the toilet was in use!) - the band won't bother
to play there again...
- A
food/drinks rider is not expected, but
a round on the house or a free rein at the buffet is always appreciated!
The
band can provide all their own equipment. They have four PA systems
of differing power to cope with a range of venue sizes, and their
own lighting.
