The Mangledwurzels on stage at the 23rd Annual Sherston Boules Day (12/6/8) Link to Bands We Have Played With

  • The Glambusters - 70s glam rock band; Seth's old band. These guys also gave us our 'big break' with a support slot at the Weston Arms in Bath which was our first ever gig in 2005.
  • Tim Pitman and Helena who both did their bit at a charity fundraiser for Happy Landings Animl Shelter in 2008.
  • Half Man Half Biscuit - favourites of Seth and Jethro; we wangled a support slot at a rare HMHB gig at the Cheese & Grain in Frome in 2007.
  • Finnian McGurk - awesome Celtic rock sprinkled with humour. Supported us (!) at High Ham, but if you are visiting Weymouth, check him out on his home turf.
  • Ross Kirk - solo singer-guitarist whose set runs like a live Radio 2 show. Supported us at Canal Inn Beer Festival in Wrantage in 2008.
  • Harry & The Hecklers - 'melodramatic popular music'; an innovative three-piece who supported us at The Perfect 5th in 2009.
  • Jive Pony provided the balance of the entertainment at a private party we did in Wells; amazing stuff too!
  • Ooh La La's who more than made up for the long trip down to the Brighton Raceday West Cider Festival in 2008!
  • DJ Slimboy Fat (aka Graham Watts) great DJ - and a nice bloke too. Provided the music between our sets at East Brent Harvest Home (August 2009)
  • Slim Pickins: 'star of stage, screen and blue movies!' - or so he asked to be introduced as, when he supported us at Clevedon Conservative Club. A very funny man - and quite a talented musician too.
  • The Soul Destroyers - a HUGE soul band from Bristol: fourteen people, lots of action, lots of fun to a soundtrack of those great classic soul tunes. They headlined the evening session first time we played at Sherston Boules Festival in 2006.
  • Dynamo's Rhythm Aces - a new take on the music, verve and vigour of 1940’s/1950’s swing, r&b and hillbilly music, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Smiths and Motorhead! They followed us onto the Main Street stage the first time we played at Sherston Boules Festival.
  • Ginger Hitlas - a great fun band who supported us (or did we support them?) at Animal Farm Adventure Park in August at 2007. Hedge enjoyed them so much that he joined the band...for a few songs anyway!
  • The River Brew - headlined at the Burtle Harvest Home gig 2008.
  • The Capricorn Country Band and Harbour Pipes and Drums who both helps us entertain a wet and bedraggled crowd at Alton Show in 2008
  • Pinstripe - Supported us at Midsomer Norton Music Festival 2006. Last heard of heading off to South By South Festival 2008 in Austin TX!
  • Dressed To Kill - A Frome-based rhythm & blues band - sadly now defunked. This was Hedge and Seth's other band, and we played with them a couple of times in the early days.
  • The Fabulous Dough Boys - headlined at the Country View Holiday Park gig 2006.
  • Lee & Joe - a duo who supported us in Lacock in 2007.
  • Malmesbury Morris - supported us at the The Sherston Scrump 2006
  • Bathampton Morris Men - supported us at the Frome Street Fayre 2006. Their website doesn't seem to be working at the moment though...
  • Magic By Jayne - kept us (and the crowd) entertained in the freezing cold at the Shepton Mallet Christmas Fair 2006
  • Balloozles who did some excellent balloon models (those apple hats the bar-staff had were brilliant!) at the Brighton Raceday West Cider Festival in 2008
  • Oh, and Tommy Banner, who is always there for our performances at the Bridgwater Carnival, and Pete Budd, who helped out at the Keep Cadbury's in Keynsham march and rally in 2007 (they closed it down anyway!)

We have played with other bands, but these are the ones we have web addresses for. If we have missed anyone, drop us an email

Jethro Tool in action at the Somerset Wagon, Chilcompton (29/6/8) Some Of Our Best Friends

  • Carved Images - Carve is a freelance photographer who has taken some neat shots of the band.
  • CiderFestivals.co.uk - Promoters of cider festivals across the UK. We have played to thounsands of cider drinkers at their events in Bath, Bristol, Norwich, Brighton and Frome with more to come...
  • Fox & Badger, Wellow - Jethro's local. Owners Eric and Suzanne kindly opened up the pub and allowed us to undertake a mammoth two hour photoshoot when they really had more important things to do! Their reward is a name check on the track Somerset Maid on the Wurz'Ee II album.
  • Handsome Llama Recording Studio, Frome - run by Will Angeloro who recorded, engineered and mastered Get Orf My Land!, Stuff The Mangledwurzels and is currently working on the Wurz'Ee II album
  • Mr Christmas - celebrates Christmas every day... What a good idea!
  • Wellow Trekking Centre - Frank and Jude also allowed us to rampage across their farm taking photos of the band. Thanks guys!
  • Valley View Farm, Batcombe - Apple grower and cider maker Bryan Mead not only allowed us to be photographed in the farm, he insisted that we sample the fruits of his...well...fruits! Proper stuff!
