Merry Hell

Watch a larger version of the video here or visit our youtube page

MERRY HELL is a band founded on the ever evolving Folk tradition – music made by the people and shared by the people. Though our hearts and souls are tuned to the songs which came before us, we bring you new words and music forged from our own experiences, from the lows and the loves of our lives. Our art is energy and our hope is unity. Our pleasure is to please: let the audience be the acid test and let the music speak for itself...

Stan Ambrose at BBC Radio Merseyside has honoured us immensely by devoting the whole 1 hour of his Folkscene programme (a full 60 earth minutes) to some band called Merry Hell. He even let Andrew and Virginia talk about the band and the songs. On that basis, it would be rude not to listen to the whole programme, which you can do for the next 6 days.

If you enjoy the programme (and you should), please show your appreciation by emailing Stan via the Folkscene link on the BBC Radio Merseyside website.
