Fan(s) of Somerset's own proto-folk-prog-rock Gods, the Hunkypunks will be no doubt delighted to hear that the band's enigmatic frontman, Stephan Mulgrew will be starring in his very own solo show/short film/ marvel of the technological age, premiering tomorrow night at 9:30pm via the Southside Plugged and Wired Festival - and get this, right? - it's all through the computer. This is cutting edge stuff, guys. You don't want to miss it.

Ho ho ho-unkypunks!
Them enigmatic, handsome boys from Chew Mydick are back with an all new, original Christmas song for your greedy little ears, to remind you what's really important this festive season - helping those less fortunate (or at least convincingly appearing to do so on social media). It's a ruddy festive miracle!

In part 2 of the best mockumentary about west country folk musicians you're likely to see today, the boys discuss their breakthrough success, how their first taste of the big-time changed them forever and look back quote-unquote fondly on the quote-unquote song that made them the intra-county legends they are, today.
