Every 5 years or so Billy Childish is sited by a current top band as the embodiment of rock ‘n’ roll integrity, and every 5 years or so Billy splits his group up and starts again from scratch. With his latest combo, The Musicians of the British Empire, Billy carries on his tradition of home made punk and rhythm and blues. Singing odes to Joe Strummer and nodding to The Who, whilst showing the next generation what a real rock ‘n’ roll group sounds like.

Line-Up
WILD BILLY CHILDISH – GUITAR / VOCALS
WOLF HOWARD – DRUMS
NURSE JULIE – BASS / BACKING VOCALS

In 2009 they took break from the MBE’s to record a CHATHAM SINGERS album plus a few radio sessions and some festival appearances.
