Mike Whellans - Parliamentarian Election Blues

Posted by Temple Records:

Here's a riposte from Scottish bluesman Mike Whellans to the seemingly never-ending UK MPs expenses scandal. Like many of us, Mike had witnessed the unfolding of this saga of greed, pomposity and self righteousness with increasing weariness, so when the UK election date was called & those same politicians began to buff up their election smiles to a high sheen, he felt compelled to put pen to paper & set a few things straight...

Whellans' is normally a one-man-blues-band, but he's joined here on lead guitar by Mike 'Billy Gibbons' Katz, a talented multi-instrumentalist whose primary occupation is as the bagpiper with Scottish folk legends Battlefield Band. Katz brought his own hi-tech 'cans' along for the session & tried to claim them on expenses but we refused.


Parliamentarian Election Blues will be released by Temple Records as a digital download only single on 19th April 2010 and will be available from the Temple Records online mp3 shop and from all major digital download outlets, including itunes, emusic & Amazon.
