young & slightly foolish

As well as playing & recording songs for the young and slightly foolish since 2001, we have actively encouraged musical collaborations with them. Here you can listen to our songs whilst reading the lyrics and learning about the strange collection of musicians and bands in the play and record extended family. You can also watch our ever expanding collection of videos.
