The Bobby McGee's

My friend Frankie used to be the drummer in this band (I'm not sure about now; her ex boyfriend is the double-bass player...)

Basically, the two lead performers Jimmy (a tough Glaswegian fellow) and his girlfriend El (a girl-next-door type from Brighton), storm the stage in clown make-up, play ukeleles, and sing their own brand of catchy tunes, labelled 'tweecore' (well... El sings, Jimmy sort of talks... ) about everyday observations, especially centred around relationships. With song titles such as 'I've Got No Friends', 'The Greatest Star Wars Song Ever Written' and 'Please Don't Dump Me', it is easy to dismiss them as a novelty group, but they are a really good band, unique, to say the least.
