The Bad Shepherds + John Otway + Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou

ADRIAN EDMONDSON’S celebrated folk-punk outfit THE BAD SHEPHERDS, have announced that their third album, entitled, “MUD, BLOOD and BEER” will be released on Monday 19th August through Ade’s own Monsoon Music label.

The album release is to be followed-up by a 24-date UK tour in November and December 2013. The support act on all dates has been confirmed as husband and wife folk duo, Trevor Moss and Hannah Lou.

Mud, Blood and Beer is the third beautifully-crafted album of classic punk and alternative songs loving reimagined by The Bad Shepherds in their distinctive folk style. Featuring re-workings of classics such as Madness’ Our House, The Jam’s Going Underground and a fabulous rendition of No More Heroes by The Stranglers, this is by far the most accomplished and diverse Bad Shepherds album to date.

This is also the first album to feature original Bad Shepherds material. The lyrics to title track, Mud Blood and Beer were penned by Ade as a homage to his new career as a festival musician. The closing track, Off To The Beer Tent, is a furious jig written by the band, which showcases (All-Ireland Fiddle Champion) Andy Dinan and (Long-time Nightwish collaborator) Troy Donockley’s world-class musical talents.
