The Troubadours have the
complete package. They are a peoples band with world beating songs.
An attitude born from the music. They're look comes from the fact
that they are an extension of the people who come to see them. Mark
Adds; 'We are just one of the lad's. no airs and graces. We relate
to the people. Thats not to say we don't relate to the other
stereotypes. We don't want to alienate people. We just are what we
are. You either like us or you don't.'
Their music is
written by Mark Frith and influenced by many great acts from the
past from 50's Rockabily, 60's pop, soul and reggae to the
more recent classic bands like Echo and the Bunnymen, the Stone
Roses and the La's.
Mark; 'I've
spent many years studying what truly makes and goes into a great
song'. It Shows!
Mark spends hours
perfecting his songs to the best possible out come.
'I'm a
big fan of great writers like Pete Townsend. You have to immerse
yourself in music. I know it's an old saying but Eat, sleep and
drink music. Everytime you write you are catching whats going
on in your head at that moment. Everytime you are not writing, you
might have missed out on writing a classic. I take it that
seriously.'
Even when the songs
are written and demoed they are then endlessly rehearsed by
the band and given the Troubadours sound.
Jonny Mol; 'We argue
alot about whats the better idea. The songs are quality and to do
them justice you have to try every idea and go down every avenue.
We are not a lazy crap half-arsed band.'
This is very true. On
the evidence Ladies and gentlemen, the troubadours are not playing
at this Rock'n'Roll game. In the words of many a fan they are
'Boss'.
" I just had to
play another track by this band cos those two tracks are so
different, it just shows what a vast reportoire the band has. I
think there absolutely brilliant." - Billy Butler,
BBC Radio Merseyside- after playing Madcap and Con edison on his
show.
"You can't just
learn how to play the guitar and write them sort of songs in a
day. It takes year on the circuit to perfect things like that.
These guys are amazing." Bobby Sox- BBC
Radio Merseyside.
" All Hail The
Troubadours, Bringing their jingly-jangly brand of scouse
merseybeat to our airways. With extremely crafted songs showing
a great respect of acts old and new. If you can try to get to
see them before it all kicks off!" -Londons Indie
Radio Station Xfm
