Criticisms of their (or anyone else's) 'technical' ability or lack of same are pointless. I've been playing for over 30 years and I could wipe the floor with these guys if it was just down to 'chops' (awful expression), but it's not. They're a great band and I've played the CD to death cos I love the songs.
Couldn't have said it better. I've introduced this band to classically trained musicians and they tend to criticize their live performances for faulty notes and out of tune violins.
However, at the end of the day, the wonderment of music is its creation, not its rendition.

the drummer is shit. the guitarist/singer seems to have been playing for a very short time, and the bassist looks like a goon. how can a band so clearly stark of talent make it? i was embarassed for them on jools!
your a dick, they clearly have talent to create original music like that. They're also obiously a lot better than you because otherwise you'd be on jools instead of making pathetic comments
at the end Ezra sort of looks like, "i deserve more....."

Its simple
IF you want talent listen to Eric clapton, or Jimmi Hendrix.
IF you want original music thats fun to listen to, watch bands like these. I know what i'd rather have

This isn't their best performance of Mansard Roof. But watch the performance from Glasto 2008 (either) of them and you will see a big difference!!
