The Mangledwurzels
"The Mangledwurzels are a Scrumpy & Western tribute to Somerset's finest, celebrating the works of Adge Cutler and The Wurzels.More than just a Wurzels tribute band, The Mangledwurzels play Wurzels songs, old and new, blended with a selection of self-penned titles and pop standards 'Mangled' in true Wurzels tradition."
The Mangledwurzels are a three-piece Scrumpy & Western band based in Somerset writing and performing in the style of Adge Cutler. Formed in early 2005, the band has established themselves across the West Country with their highly entertaining live performances blending classic Wurzels songs with self-penned original compositions and pop standards 'Mangled' in true Wurzels tradition.
With a deal signed with independent record label Loose Records (who had the real Wurzels on their books in the 1990s), The Mangledwurzels released their critically acclaimed second album "Wurz'Ee II" in July 2009 containing fifteen original Wurzels-flavoured, cider-fuelled, Scrumpy & Western songs reeking with rustic charm.
