"I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease...observing a spear of
summer grass."
Music performed by Eugene Chadbourne, Hedgehog and a trio consisting of Chadbourne, Arthur Bickers and David Birchall.

Starting out playing rock and roll guitar, Chadbourne quickly grew bored with the form's conventions, going on to study the blues, country, bluegrass, free jazz, and noise before synthesizing those heterogeneous influences into a unique style of his own.
“one of the underground community's most well-known and well-regarded eccentrics.” All Music Guide
Chadbourne fronted Shockabilly (1982–1985) with Mark Kramer (bass/organ) and David Licht (drums) and has worked with numerous artists including John Zorn, Fred Frith, Derek Bailey, Han Bennink, Carla Bley Band, Paul Lovens, Toshinori Kondo, Kommissar Hjuler und Frau, Camper Van Beethoven, Jello Biafra, Turbonegro, They Might Be Giants, Sun City Girls, Violent Femmes, Aki Takase, Walter Daniels, Kevin Blechdom, Biff Blumfumgagnge, Zu and Jimmy Carl Black.

Manchester based children’s music quintet Hedgehog is the collaborative creative excretion of performance poet El Garrard, free jazz sax legend Louise Brown, banjo enthusiast Arthur Bickers, Scotch rock composer Flynn Mchardy and James “Christmas Magic” Hawdale.
A soundtrack to the laughter, love, heartbreak, and hunger of personhood. The result teeters on the boundary between eloquent portrayals of humane and natural beauty and the collapse of language in favour of pure visceral expression.
