"Taking old folk songs and giving them a respectful kick up the backside. Traditional songs, traditional instruments; fresh approach."

The Unlawful Men have been on the run since November 2013.

Ed Conway (a man old enough to know better) assembled the band with a simple goal; to play re imagined Folk music; Loud and proud.

To date they are known to be responsible for the release of two CD albums and have appeared at countless Festivals, Concerts and Events across the UK.

By Taking old folk songs and giving them a respectful kick up the backside, adding some well-crafted original songs, then intelligently re arranging the odd cover version; The Unlawful Men are Guaranteed to make you prick up your ears, raise an eyebrow, tap a foot, sing a chorus and send you on your way with a smile.

With a growing reputation as a “not to be missed” live band their performances (just like their albums) are Honest, Dynamic, Diverse, Engaging and above all hugely entertaining.

This is definitely folk music but it’s ...unconventional, unpredictable, unique and unlawful...
