Billy Childish and the Musicians Of The British Empire
Billy Childish And the Musicians of the Brithish Empire return to Bardens Boudoir for a night of Garage Punk Rock’n’Roll!Billy Childish
A cult figure in America, Europe and Japan, Billy Childish is by far the most prolific painter, poet, and song-writer of his generation. In a twenty year period he has published over 40 collections of his poetry, recorded over 100 full-length independent LP’s and produced over 2000 paintings.
The Musicians Of The British Empire
Every 5 years or so Billy Childish is sited by a current top band as the embodiment of rock ‘n’ roll integrity, and every 5 years or so Billy splits his group up and starts again from scratch. With his latest combo, The Musicians of the British Empire, Billy carries on his tradition of home made punk and rhythm and blues. Singing odes to Joe Strummer and nodding to The Who, whilst showing the next generation what a real rock ‘n’ roll group sounds like.
