To Hell With Burgundy

Manchester-based trio founded on October 22nd, 1987. Karl Walsh (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Joanne Hensman (vocals and percussion) met as drama students and the line-up was completed by Kevin Metchear (vocals, acoustic and electric guitars) after they left college. The name of the band came from a line in “The Song Of The Vagabonds” from an operetta entitled The Vagabond King by Czech composer Rudolf Friml. The band split up in 2001 due to personal issues.
