Welcome to the new site for Coventry Folk Singer Songwriter -
Rod Felton 1942 - 2014.
Rod Felton 1942 - 2014.
Few people on the Coventry Music Scene in the 60', 70's and beyond or frequenting folk clubs around the UK or on the continent, could have escaped at least some knowledge of Rod Felton or the New Modern Idiot Grunt Band. He was variously (and sometimes simultaneously) a talented graphic artist, folk and blues singer and songwriter, raconteur, showman, folk club organiser and glorious eccentric and much more. This is his story, his legacy, and music contributed to, by a number of people who recorded some of his many live performances along with some home recordings.
Obviously it's still a work in progress but material - audio and visual and text - will be added soon. Bookmark it and come back if you liked Rod Felton's music.
Below you will find (in due course)
- A musical biography of Rod Felton
- Live video albums of some of his gigs and home recordings that show his musical range, power and his sense of humour.
- Articles about Rod Felton and The New Modern Idiot Grunt Band along with photos and any other material that we have.
- If you have any recordings, photos or articles on Rod that you think should be part of this tribute site, please get in contact, via Hobo (in the sidebar.).
Enjoy!
