Once Upon a Time in Essex

A lost recording has been unearthed of Herfordshires premiere Acid-Folk ensemble 'The Herbsmen' playing their finest song 'Autolysis' back in the last millenium in 1991.
This historical footage has appeared along with the lost bass player Chris 'Denim Clad Warrior of Sound' Jarvis (Missing presumed having a good time).
The footage was shot during Heat 1 of the Harlow Square Rock Contest at Harlow Square deep in the cultural wasteland of Essex, decimated in the 80's during the Good-Taste Wars. The Herbsmen made it through to the final and came a close second to 'comedy' house band 'Oi, Oi Saveloy!
There is no justice, nor taste in Essex!

This footage featured the original and best line-up of:
Chris Jarvis - Bass
The Reverend - Drums
Chris Evans - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
Ben Scratcher - Lead Guitar, Vocals


A record of a time, lest we forget.
