Founded by members of
Wyre Forest Morris Men to supplement the dance 'Unspoilt by Practice' perform their own unique blend of Folk and Blues music. The name of the Band was taken from the slogan for Bank's brewery. "Unspoilt by Progress". It seemed to fit. All members of the Wyre Forest Morris Men participate with a range of instruments, including Melodeon, Guitar, Citern, Tuba, Bones, Bodhran and anything else that might be to handThe music consists of English, Irish, Scottish and French folk music, instrumental and sung. Ranging from bawdy drinking songs and shanties to wistful ballads reels and jigs to slow walses. The Blues include "slide" citern to contemporary, or we might perform anything that takes our fancy.
