Our Take

Ah, Stick In The Wheel. A band name that leaves little to the imagination. And neither does their music. "A Thousand Pokes" is a relentless assault of traditional folk tunes injected with a healthy dose of punk attitude.

From the opening track "Common Ground" with its pulsating rhythms and haunting vocals, to the frenetic energy of "Seven Gypsies" and the raw emotion of "Follow Them True", Stick In The Wheel leave no stone unturned in their quest to shake up the folk scene.

There's something undeniably captivating about the way they effortlessly blend the old with the new, the traditional with the contemporary. It's like stepping into a time machine and being transported back to a rowdy pub in 18th century England, where the ale flows freely and the fiddles never stop playing.

But don't be fooled by their rustic charm and quaint instrumentation. Stick In The Wheel are a force to be reckoned with, breathing new life into a genre that many thought had lost its edge. "A Thousand Pokes" is a triumphant reminder that folk music is anything but boring, especially when it's in the hands of these boundary-pushing mavericks.

So grab a pint, kick back, and let Stick In The Wheel take you on a wild, exhilarating ride through the rich tapestry of British folk music. You won't regret it.
