Adrian Edmondson and the Bad Shepherds Tickets

You might have heard of Adrian Edmondson before. But it hasn’t always been music that makes this guy a household name. Edmondson is best known for writing and starring in ‘The Young Ones’ and ‘Bottom’ with Rik Mayall. These shows have become classics in British comedy for the outrageous and disgusting, but at the end of the day downright hilarious, things that occurred in the shows. Edmondson is obviously a man of many talents. This project was, a little unusually, born when he “accidently” bought a mandolin but decided to learn a few chords nonetheless. After inviting a few other musicians to join in the fun the obvious answer was of course to form a folk/punk cover band!

Adrian Edmondson and the Bad Shepherds Concert

With the combination of mandolin, uillean pipes, cittern, whistles and the fiddle, Adrian Edmonson and the Bad Shepherd perform unique renditions of some of the true classics in punk music. You’d be forgiven for thinking twice about using traditional instruments to play punk music. Afterall wasn’t punk music about guitars, drums, bass and snarling vocals with a motto sort of like - everything louder than everything else! This much is certainly true but it is exciting to hear generation defining songs completely transposed into a different style, so much so that it brings out elements of the music you might not have noticed before. Now that Adrian Edmondson and the Bad Shepherd tickets are on sale for their upcoming U.K. tour here’s your chance for a really unique concert.
