Songs entitled ‘Stiletto’, ‘The Texan from Goose Green’ and ‘Don Petulengro Boswells magic hedgehog oil’ are for sure something not only the people in Wigan, Lancashire, England can relate to.

Les Hilton, the duo’s song writer, picks up lots of stories from his job as a taxi driver. The Texan from Goose Green for example was really dressed like a cowboy and did a job for him once. Another one is about an 80 year old guy who would like to be 18 again on a Saturday night.

Les Hilton and Tim Cooke probably are Wigan’s funniest ukulele duo and the new album truly is brilliant. Listening to the songs is great fun.

It is available directly from the Chonkinfeckle homepage for only £5.00 + £1.00 P&P. Just check it out.
