250 Village Halls, BBC 1, BBC 2 & the Edinburgh, Ludlow, Leominster & Much Wenlock Festivals, half a dozen tents and a handful of cowsheds can’t all be wrong!
We are BBC broadcaster and raconteur Chris Eldon Lee; satirist, songwriter and Shropshire dairy farmer Martin “Monologue” Jones and very blonde pianist and songbird Nonny James, or Shrewsbury School’s Director of Music John Moore.
We’ve now performed to 35,000 happy people in all sorts of odd places and helped communities raise thousands and thousands of pounds.
 We sing silly songs and tell topical tales about the pleasure and pain of rural living. Our show has the feel of a madcap, modern day “Flanders and Swann” and is being constantly updated.
What’s more we are now touring with the amazing agricultural starlet Freda the Female Farmer
Our repertoire of self-penned material includes gems such as:
- “The Addiction” (about what happens if you spend too much time shovelling slurry)
- “Terminal Love” (a brief lesson on how the sad and lonely make love via the Internet)
- “Stripy the Barcode” (or what not to do at a supermarket checkout)
- “Chicken Blues” (an egg-bound blues)
- “Men, Don’t You Just Love Them” (on why men are so useless)
- “Miss Marigold” (in which Martin has an amorous adventure with a rubber glove)
- “I’m on the Phone” (about the curse of the mobile)
- “Some Matches of Day” (classical piano variations on a famous theme)
- “The Pig With No Poke” – which speaks for itself really.
The whole show is a complete evening’s entertainment - which lasts around two hours - or can be performed as a tailor-made after-dinner cabaret.
 We supply our own piano, PA and lighting rig and chain saw - but we do need you to provide a stage or platform of some sort for us to perform on - and somewhere to make quick changes. If you have your own stage lights we’d like to use them too.
Please note the show is NOT ideal for younger children. |
