Saw Doctors heading to Wulfrun Hall

Irish favourites The Saw Doctors head to Wolverhampton's Wulfrun Hall this Christmas as part of their UK tour.

The Saw Doctors play the Wulfrun on Sunday, December 11, 2011. Tickets cost £21.50 plus booking fees and go on sale at 9am on Friday, July 8, 2011, from Midland Box Office on 0870 320 7000 or www.wolvescivic.co.uk

The five-piece describe themselves as a group of songwriting musicians from the West of Ireland, hell-bent on celebrating, observing, recording and sometimes poking fun at their own locality, accent and idiomatic use of language whilst dressing their songs up in their favourite sounds and styles from their years of musical fandom.

They say: "Born into a repressed, Catholic, conservative, small-town, agrarian, angst-ridden and showband-infested society we're trying to preserve the positive elements of our background and marry them to the sounds which have culturally invaded our milieu through TV, radio, 45's, fast food restaurants, 24 hour petrol stations and electric blankets."
