Rival Folk (part two)

The Rival folk (part 2) were directly descended from the Salford '60s group also called The Rival Folk; Jon Grundy being the son of Jim Grundy and Jim Fowler being the son of Geoff and Biddy Fowler. Their MYSPACE tells the story far better than I could:

"Jim and Jonathan spent a lot of their childhood together and when old enough they started writing songs and drinking Carling Black Label into the wee hours annoying the neighbours with drunken singing, swearing, guitar and piano playing. After several evictions and law suits for plagiarism involving the Houghton Weavers, Jonathan bought a barge on the Bridgewater canal which became The Rival Folks floating studio and rum palace. The songs you can hear on this site were written produced and recorded on this very same vessel known as the good ship 'Dove' the first of which was 'My Magic Boot' Where Jim played the drums on a pan and mixing bowl and Jon used a spatula to run along the ridges of a radiator."

There. Simple.
