THE WURZELS - Promo Video for their NEW SINGLE!!! 'Ruby Ruby Ruby!'

Here at Skreeworld we are serious and long time fans of the Wurzels. We regularly see the band live, know Pete and Tommy and always support thier work, withot irony. From the early work of Adge Cutler, the bard of Avonmouth through to the present day, the Wurzels have been one of this countries greatest live bands. We take our scrumpy seriously and strongly defend the taxation laxity on the fermented juice of the apple. Though, as purists, we have a solemn respect for the purity of the days of Adge and will always keep his name alive and remembered for his genius, we also respect the work from the heady summer of '76 when the nation was awash with cyderdelia, the lyrical dexterity of the chart hits,'I drove ny tractor through your haystack last night', even 'buggered if I don't get him' from the Pete Budd penned Blackbird slipped by the censors in the same year the relatively tame lyric of 'Anarchy in the UK' brought radio bans. I confess, it wasn't until I moved to the West Country and saw the Wurzels on the tailend of a 4 day MDMA marathon that I discovered thier true majesty. That night, with eyes like saucers, we mfirst met Pete and Tommy. They saw through our drugged state, we saw through thier scrumpy polished cheeks, we had a realisatin of common goals. They knew we were no satyrical, ironic fans but true appreciators of thier work. For me personally, to finally meet Pete, after seeing him as a child on 'Top of the Pops' when I could barely grasp the complexity, humour ad politics of his work, to meet him as a adult was a truly wonderful experience. Since then, Skreeworld has been in full support. The 'Never mind the Bullocks' album came out to boldly state that they are a band of today, the new 'More Bullocks' another masterwork and now this mighty single to promote in Petes' 70th year shows that thier will always be more cyder in the jar, just as the sorely missed Adge promised way back in 1966 when I was a baby. The Fall may have been the primary soundtrack to my life but Scrumpy and Western will forever be a part of Skreeworld. Check out www.wurzelworld.com for up to date info.
