They have written and recorded eleven studio albums, independently released over 40 live recordings, successfully crowd-funded eight separate independent vinyl releases, played on top of mountains, wowed-festival goers across the length and breadth of the UK, had five different beers brewed and named in their honour, sold-out four consecutive shows on a Mississippi paddle-steamer on the Norfolk Broads in less than 30 seconds, hosted their own sell-out music and comedy festival, written & performed in their own musical, are featured in the Experience Barnsley Museum Music Archives, hold the bar-takings record for at least ten theatres, have been the recipients of six different individual awards, as voted for by the public in the Barnsley Music Awards, played the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury Festival, and to 20,000+ people at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, and even scaled the dizzy heights of a #1 and a #2 single and a #2 album on the iTunes Comedy Charts (plus a National chart position in the Top 100)! Not bad for a daft little unsigned comedy folk band from Barnsley, eh?

They are bringing their Winter Woollies Tour back to Knutsford, and plan to play you a host of Dooni-hits from their arsenal of anarchy alongside new songs from their new ‘Rugh & Ryf’ album (released this year). Expect silliness and singalongs and a whole night of mayhem with what Jarvis Cocker described to be “The best thing to come out of Barnsley, since the A61 to Sheffield”.
