The Old Time Wasters

Rip-roaring, foot-stomping, knee-slapping, rib-tickling Old Time music (with an English accent) played on banjo, fiddle, guitar and mandolin.

Comprising Steve Blake, Jo Cooper and Paul Martin The Old Time Wasters play and sing American traditional old-time music and songs drawn from the dark and dusty corners of the 20s and 30s string band repertoire, with the occasional detour into English music-hall. Their often eccentric and amusing selections are complemented with rock-solid rhythm and infectious three-part harmonies.
