• 'Ted can't hear ya' - Thought I would update info on Medway's cranked up punky folk rock band.. They are still going strong and playing lots of gigs. Paul Johnson guitarist and vocals, still works in radio and for www.folking.com and has just interviewed Maddy Prior MBE for folking.com audio interviews. This I am told will be on folking.com very soon. Paul is very well connected and counts as friends Fairport Convention, Ralph Mc Tell, Steeleye Span,Lindisfarne, Men they couldent hang. Still a huge New model army fan, paul is hoping to talk again to Justin Sulivan soon. They are recording thier second album at the Levellers Studio in Brighton this Autumn. The line up has now changed. Mandolin player Greg Aylott has left after 6 years. this happened at this years Sweeps Festival in Rochester. The new member is none other than the brilliant fiddle player Tim Sumner, who is excellent and has played with Paul Johnson and Andy in the highly acclaimed and innovitive 1995/96 band 'Prides Purge' Tim is an old friend of the band is apparently very excited and pleased to be playing with them again. so the new line up is Paul Johnson, Lucu Whitman, Tim Sumner, and Andy Baker - and they are 'kick arse'I have seen them many times and thier different lively cranked up Medway punky blend of Folk rock just gets you in to it. They now have two web sites www.folking.com and a new 'unofficial site' which you can link to from www.folking.com, its constantly updated and right up to date with great pics of every thing Ted cant hear ya plus a lot of other Medway stuff! check them out - go see them their mailing list is pretty damm good to.. and its free!! and you get regular updates, and news letters via email or post get it from tedcanthearyainfo@gmail.com the strong rumour is that they are going to be on the bill at Fairports Cropredy Festival in August 2007. cheers Rick/from Rochester
