BILLY CHILDISH & THE SINGING LOINS - At The Bridge (2022 Reissue) - LP - Vinyl

LP - Black Vinyl.

A re-issue of one of a favourite early release and a rather overlooked classic album, a one off collaboration between Billy Childish and legendary Medway folkies The Singing Loins.

This was recorded in 1993 when Billy was in Thee Headcoats and The Singing Loins were in their first incarnation. The Singing Loins formed in late 1990, a two piece band playing “Authentic raw folk from the Medway Delta”. They were Chris Broderick on vocals/stick and Chris ‘Arfur’ Allen on guitar. They had recorded two classic albums before this both of which were released on Billy’s own Hangman records.

The album features a few Childish classics reworked including ‘You Make Me Die’ and ‘Every Bit Of Me’ as well as 4 tracks written by Billy and The Loins especially for this album.
