Mark Radcliffe

From deepest, darkest Cheshire, land of perpetual twilight, emerge rambling radio roustabout Mark Radcliffe and his band Foes. As opposed to friends.

With a selection of songs to burn coffins to, these misanthropic minstrels and glum-pop pall-bearers of bar-room bathos bring tales of loss, regret, ruin, heartbreak and dead dogs.

Mark Radcliffe & Foes play a few covers from the likes of Slade, Hank Williams and Cockney Rebel, but Mr Radcliffe has written most of the songs, and those who are familiar with the ‘Mahones CD’s will know some of them. If you've heard Mark’s solo album, ‘What Remains of the Day’, you will know even more.

The ‘Foes’ are Paul Cagrhill, Russell Mabbutt, Chris Lee and Mark Woolley armed with accordions, bass, mandolin, whistles and percussion. Mark R. plays guitars as well as providing lead vocals.
