BS4 on Tour... Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 “....raising a cider with West Country men ...” - I posted this vid last year and it raised a few spirits I believe ... so I thought why not impose it on you all again ... it’s a hard time for all of us, so please, don’t take it too seriously, just revel in this track from Canada’s finest and enjoy the nod to the Wurzels in the middle ... I contacted them on social media to see why they recorded this song and they replied saying they’ve always been blown away by the welcome they got when playing in our fair city - they love the people and they love cider ... go nuts to this one - I do!

Kempson Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 As a massive fan of weird folkish metal type things I cant believe I've not heard this before. Thank you for sharing. More mainstream but anyone who hasnt heard Alestorm's version of I am a cider drinker needs to look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 As a result of hearing this last year I actually downloaded the whole album "Foreign Skies" It's utterly brilliant. A bizarre mix of folk, punk, metal, shanty music, polka and Lord alone knows what. It's a concept album with all of the songs about different aspects of world war 1. There's been nothing funnier in our house than listening to my 9 year old son and 5 year old daughter singing "back home in Bristol" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Wow, that's a cracking song. Although the shots of people together at a gig was quite depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 While looking them up on Spotify, I found they have at least one other Bristol themed song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I’d love to see our chaps run out to this ditty when we are finally ‘allowed’ back into our home - and it would also be a great chant for us all to bellow out, although @Robbored would undoubtedly disagree because he says no chants suggested on here have ever been heard at Ashton Gate - despite me proving him wrong on that one - I suggested a chant on here about 8 years ago that is and was regularly heard at home games before this pandemic .... keep going everyone x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hi mods - not sure why this has been moved to general chat?!
