EXPECT a host of singalong West Country classics when The Wurzels hit Southampton tonight.

The Scrumpy and Western band from Somerset, known for their number one hit The Combine Harvester, play The Engine Rooms.

I Am A Cider Drinker in 1976 was also a firm favourite and the band have remained a popular fixture at festivals and events ever since.

Even in the new millennium, the latest line up as remained as busy as ever.

In 2000 a new CD was issued The Finest Arvest of the Wurzels – a massive collection of the Wurzel’s hits. This major seller was closely followed by The Wurzels Collection – more back numbers reissued and Never Mind The Bullocks, which consisted of covers of modern pop songs.

Two singles from this album were to put the band back on the map. The first was Combine Harvester remix 2001 – an upbeat version of their 1976 chart topper, closely followed by Don’t Look Back In Anger, originally by Oasis.

Further albums of fresh recordings followed along with numerous appearances on TV shows. Requests for gigs poured in – it is not uncommon for the band to play to crowds numbered in their thousands and their fan base increased massively taking in children, university students and adults alike.

They have even played at Glastonbury Festival!
