Scrumpy
& Western music is the music of the West Country of England.
It is best known as being the music of Adge Cutler and the Wurzels,
but to connoisseurs of the genre, there is much, much more to Scrumpy
& Western music than just Drink Up Thy Cider or Combine
Harvester. This website lists well over 30 artists and bands
whose music falls into the genre, and there are undoubtedly many
others not listed, and more yet who have Scrumpy & Western songs
within their repertoire, but whose music fall mostly into other
genres. read more...
This
website was founded by Paul
Gunningham, aka Zider Ed in 1999. Sadly Paul died in 2007 as
a result of injuries sustained in a road traffic accident. Rather
than let his legacy fade, Frank Blades of Somersetmade Ltd took
over the running and continued development of this website in his
memory.
