Zachariah Toadstool
Seminal (careful with that there word, boy) rural punk band from early 80s Galloway (Scotland), line-ups have come and gone over the years but we have tried to remain true to our ethos: "Four chords good, three chords best". As the available pool of contemporary local musical talent has gone into retirement the average age of the band has reduced. This year it is 28!

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live twice a year at the moment, usually at the Wickerman Festival (http://www.thewickermanfestival.co.uk)which is great. Best moment was in 1981 when we started a riot in a rural village hall playing our "tribute" to Margaret Thatcher.
