 Matt started his career as an innocent member of the 'Ipswich Whistlers'. However, after an incident involving the lead baritone whistler and what can only be desribed as a halibut, he was forced to leave forever. Desolate, he turned to his one great passion, straight up funk,playing with the 'Meat Feast Surprise' combo, and later joining up with the Oxford covers band 'Six Piston Injector'. However, in his heart, his true longing was for a more wistful and introspective sound.
He turned to his long time companion, Tegid. Not even Tegid himself knew where his true origins lay. Suffice to say he spent his days playing with 'Hearts For Your Mother's Killer'. Although their music was worthy of derision, their on-stage pagan sacrifices never failed to draw a large occult crowd. Yet he too longed for a simpler existence.
Matt moved to Suffolk for a time with his internet bride, a Vietnamese ladyboy named Fuoung, while touring with his band of the time 'Might Fred's Leg'. Their first child, due to it's own inbred nature, was of course born with a third eye in it's navel. This led to its eventual stoning at the hands of a Tesco checkout assistant. Matt and Fuoung never got through the time after their child's death, so divorced leaving Matt with his only hope in the world, his love of hardcore funk. So his journey continued, a little closer to the spirit of Crud-Yr-Awel.
Meanwhile, Tegid found not inconsiderable success with the travelling gay comapany 'The Brown Pussycat Revue'. Such was their fame, the guested for one night at London's G.A.Y. alongside 'Look Whos Porking', the popular live sex act duo. But rumours surrounding his sexuality, namely that he was straight, despite all appearances to the conytrary, forced him out, bringing him still closer to the artistic dream team that is Ginger and Pickles.
Matt after his unfortunate divorce was sent a blessing in the form of his new Classic-Funk-Grime-Renaisance band, "The Fledgling Minstrels". They had struck success with thier song "Lady, Be more of a Man for Me", questionable in taste, the song had raised eyebrows as well as several buldges in some appreciative listeners trousers. Suprisingly enough it seemed for once Matt was going places, a tour in Korea organised, a photo shoot with the artist Kodak P. Boothe and sightings of Matt at the popular hang outs of musicaians such as Howard Donald of "Take That" fame. Were it not for the attraction that the lead minstrel, "Ugly Girl Gregorina", felt towards Matt. After many ups and downs between the two, it was agreed Matt must remain at least 200yards from the plantive or he would be imprisoned for 5 years and so the band carried on with a new spoons player, Fred Glooner. Heatbreak was the theme of Matts life so far. It was this that lead him for a short time towards Japan and, in his hopes, fame and fortune.
None can say exactly when or where the album 'Crud-yr-Awel, live and unrehearsed 2005' was made, but sure enough it was somewhere, sometime and now it's here for your listening pleasure.
All recordings were live performances, written and performed by Ginger and Pickles except "Goodnight" featuring Mrs. Pickles.
