GOOD times appear to be brewing for the Yorkshire Teabags, Sheffield's antedeluvian skiffle group with a combined age equal to the National Debt.

They went down a storm at Sheffield University's beer festival and, by all accounts, drank a fair amount of the booze.

"Amazingly, as most of the audience was about a third of the age of the band they seemed to lap us up, dancing, singing along, buying us drinks, smiling at us and asking for more," says leader Adam Pemberton.

"We have previously assumed that our most receptive audiences were those who could remember skiffle from the first time around.

"Perhaps the young have had enough of electro high tech noise and are willing to lend an ear to some golden oldies actually playing and singing live."

Catch them at the Broomhill festival event in the Botanical Gardens on Saturday afternoon, June 14, or hear them play at www.yorkshireteabags.co.uk
