Hello
Here is some news. Firstly, the DEBUT album by The Model Folk is entitled: THE GREAT PEDANTS’ REVOLT
Expect to hear why we’ve been so RUDDY QUIET April 2nd onwards!
Secondly, there is a means to see us LAUNCH the album
There. We love you. You will respect this.
Hello.
STUFF
IS
HAPPENING SOON.
THANK YOU.
ps. ALBUM.
There. We’re allowed to tell you that.
Hello
The mysterious, and EXCELLENT artist known only in hushed tones as Nettie of Artkore Mosaics has fashioned this MIGHTY URN of TEA out of JESMOND’S words and a SCARY clown FACE.
Nettie is known to watch us from behind wooden fences when we play in The Beehive in Swindon. This is how this happened and that is how it happened. Because it happened.
A teapot made out of words and LOVE. Click the image to view the Artkore Mosaics page!
We are humbled by this BEAUTEOUS ode to one of our NEWEST songs, that will appear on the as yet UNTITLED album. Miggle wanted to make the album TITLE out of SWEARS but Alex told him to GO IN A CORNER and NOT COME OUT AGAIN until he promised not to make RUDENESS again. We all nodded our approval. But then we wrote a song about MIGGLE and he was happy again. You cannot hear this song, it is merely a PLOT device within this RAMBLING message.
THIS. Yes. This is what we are doing next. WITH OUR INSTRUMENTS.
In STROUD. Which rhymes with CROWD. Which is YOU, if you GO.

THIS FRIDAY.
THANK YOU.
Hello
At this point in time it has been considered LESS than foolhardy to entertain the concept of PLAYING IN BRISTOL.
To this end, your trusted erudite troupe of FOLK IDIOTS will be PRANCING with merciless GLEE at the Blue Lagoon Cafe & Bar
Supporting us will be the SUPERB japesters known as Arankas Cackle. You will LOVE them.
BUT WHEN IS THIS?
IT IS ON THIS DATE:
Friday. 14th. November.
So YOU MUST COME.
Thank you

CHEKKIT KIDZ.
Yes. KIDZ, CHEKKIT.
GIGS GALORE, as 2014 shuffles to a shambling exit. Yet, The Model Folk remain SURE of FOOT and FINE of FETTLE.

Needless to say, The Earl of Arran is not easily swayed by such gushing flattery. His considered comment earlier, was a plaintive; “TRUMPIT”.
We do however, condone ADMIRATION FROM AFAR.
Thank you

The BARGE INN IN IN IN HONEYSTREET…
RAUCOUS. SWEATY. BOHEMIAN. ANYTHING WENT & so it DID… including all of Badger’s mandolin D strings, Alex’s bass spike and a DOG was SO FRUSTRATED BECAUSE SNOUT WAS NOT ON THE SETLIST that he sabotaged Badger’s harmonium. WITH HIS PAWS. He then looked all innocent and he was very FLUFFY like ALL dogs and we loved him for it in the end. Possibly. Yeah. CHEERS ZED.
Our first ever FOLK MOSHPIT ensued, and it turns out that although the Railways replaced most of the CANALS, our song about Beeching’s pit of EVIL was still roundly LOVED.
Amazing & beautiful crowd… and apparently some folks from The Beehive in Swindon STALKED US.
Thank you xxx
Sorry.. no pics on this one.. but if you have em.. email us at mod(dot)folk(at)gmail(dot)com xx
Yes, our EPIC tour of WILTSHIRE continues.
Last night, it was THE BEEHIVE in SWINDON. This beauteous PUBLIC HOUSE is firmly one of The Model Folk’s FAVOURITE PLACES. This is due to the BEAUTIFUL crowd & LACK OF MELANCHOLY. We also observed that the regulars have excellent DEPORTMENT and MANNERS.
Badger thanks FRANKIE for making him TEA A LOT
Somebody called Alan, who claims to know us, but we secretly tied his shoelaces together and didn’t tell him, took some DAGUERROTYPES of us. Here are SOME.
NEXT UP.
The BARGE INN @ HONEYSTREET – a TRIUMPHANT RETURN!
Firstly, our own song Under The Window
From the FORTHCOMING debut album which we haven’t recorded yet. We have thought about it though.
Ably filmed by Ms Mann of https://www.facebook.com/MannManPhotography
Then
Two versions of the SAME song. It is a cover of Beirut’s BEAUTIFUL song Postcards from Italy.
Again, via https://www.facebook.com/MannManPhotography
and finally, but not least, one by CARL JOHN FREEMAN who made LOVELY photos of us during this gig
THANK YOU.
