Highly Recomended Music
Helen McCookerybook - beautiful music, beautiful voice
Recently played a gig with these two bands in Middlesbrough and we were blown away by both:
SWINE TAX (hard-hitting)
SHRUG (mesmerising)
Oliver Cherer's DOLLBOY http://www.dollboy.co.uk/home.html
Ollie is a Frequent collaborator with us he played trumpet on The King And I from THAT SENTIMENTAL SLUSH
and he also played a saw on the same albums The Snip
I have often used his discarded tunes and added my own words to make new springs songs (waste not want not)
Check out CD 2 of the EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA album for some of Ollie's great music

JACK HAYTER http://www.jackhayter.com/mainpage.html
Jack has played some lovely pedal steel with us live and on CD
He also sings a duet with me on Deep Black Water from the POOR TRACE EP
his voice sounds like someone gargling with stinging nettles and Roofing nails
and puts my 30 years of non smoking asthma wheeze to shame

VIC GODARD http://www.vicgodard.co.uk/
Vic has been close to the Springs from as far back as THE ADDISON BROTHERS EP
Played live together on lots of occasions, both as the Springs and as Subway Sect,
We have played and sung on each others albums over the last few years.
It's a big shame we never got make a proper album together as Vic and The Bitter Springs -
The closest we got to that was the couple of tracks released as the BLACKPOOL EP
The picture above is a live album cover that features us on a number of songs
and it's available from Vic's web site
