The Streets Are Paved In Gold
The League Of Nations
Not since the late great Jake Thakery has an English folk act written such dark satirical humorous songs as The League Of Nations. Their songs are as near as you could ever get to a musical portrait of this beleaguered Isle. They show us modern Britain, in all its decaying glory. The Great Britain of the ASBO, the suicide bomber, the binge drinker, the happy slapper. A country in which footballers are as famous for roasting as for their skills on the pitch. In fact, if the Blue Peter garden needs suggestions as to what to put into their latest time capsule, or the daft man who sent the Beagle Space probe onto Mars needs a guidebook to send out to alien life forms on how we live in modern Britain then look no further than The League Of Nations articulate, despairing, angry, witty and engaging songs.
