When I saw the Clifford Village Band's name on the Glastonbury ETC list under the folk genre with a song called The Fisherman and I my heart sank. I was, quite understandably I think, expecting a finger in the ear arran sweater enclad homage to the early albums of Fairport Convention or Steeleye Span . Well that's taught me to never prejudge a band by it's name. This is a band who obviously like to defy expectations. With a singer who sounds like Edwyn Collins after a Morrissey tonsil transplant The Darkness In The Corner of Your Eye is a revelation while Attica sounds like a bucolic Belle & Sebastian.
If all folk music was made this way the world would be a better place. This judging lark doesn't get any easier!
