"Folk" addresses not only the central motif of Gibb's strummed acoustic guitar, but the communal, open-door policy that has seen the band swell to as many as 15 on-stage members, excluding up to 15 male go-go dancers who strip down to underwear and encourage the audience to sing along to lyrics projected onto a backdrop.

They have become a uniquely home-grown affair with the band driving every creative aspect, visually and musically. The band's bedroom a chrysalis, that mutates daily from sleeping quarters, to studio to workshop. It was here they recorded first singles Austere and Cradle and their 8 track CD "A Balloon called Moaning" - a defiant release of optimism against their own heavy hearts.

You’ll have heard the Mantronix-like funk-pop of first single The Spell, but there’s the slippery filter-house of DJ the piano-riff-meets-speaker-rattling bassline of melancholic-house monster, Hole In My Heart, pure heart-rate pushing dancefloor monster, the RnB touched, down-tempo reach of Q&A and the brilliantly debauched SAW-pop-goes-Ibiza throb of 365 Degrees, where pianos, kick-drums and hairspray hi-hats all get a frantic airing. Over 14's only. 2010-04-29 8pm Komedia Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, the Ian Dury Biopic is released on January 8th 2010 and has been praised for the central performance by Andy Serkis.
