Biography
The Mandolin Brothers
In the midst's of time there was a meeting of minds that created a powerful musical force. That force propelled a bunch of ragged raw talent from the streets of Birmingham on their first faltering steps along the rocky road of folk history.
The band called themselves "The Bushbury Mountain Daredevils" (see bushburymountaindaredevils.com) their unique brand of home-grown hillbilly heaven made a big impression on audiences not just in the UK but all over Europe.
It seemed the world had gone mountain mad. Every festival in the mid 90's
seemed to have their name at the top of the bill. Drawn in by the bands
infectious energy and unstoppable momentum everyone danced and sang along as
the Bushburys (as they became known) became a promoters dream.
Always
guaranteed to send audiences home happy and fulfilled but never before
they'd insisted on an immediate rebooking. There was a special chemistry on
stage that audiences immediately recognized and felt a connection to.
Out of this great band emerged two members known as the "Mandolin Brothers" namely because of both Brian and Andy's love of the mandolin.
The Mandolin Brothers play raw whiskey soaked songs of love, lust and desperation.
