Original satirical and story songs about much loved local people and places performed by an eccentric troupe of shape shifting musicians. CC&TC’s performances hark back to the era of Spike Jones, The Bonzos and Tom Lehrer yet with a decidedly modern twist.
According to The Cap’n…
“We’re based in the New Forest and love frolicking through wildflower meadows, splashing across picturesque chalk streams, getting lost in ancient woodland, getting stuck in bogs and fetching up sweaty & bedraggled at a local tavern for a refreshing pint.
There, armed with our instruments and freshly lubricated vocal cords, we draw breath and regale fellow travellers with tales of adventure, derring-do and satire late into the night.
Whether you’re a music lover, a music hater or a pub praying for punters on a quiet winter evening, we have just the thing for you!”
Never underestimate the mayhem that can be caused by a few determined individuals armed with a beaten up guitar, bass uke, cajón, djembe, assorted bird calls, duck quacks, Acme Whistles and the ‘Incredible Acoustic Thunder Machine’!

The classic song from the cabaret of the Weimar Republic!
Some people think this original song is an allegory for our headlong, technology fuelled dash to oblivion. It might be… Others think it might be the former Minister of Transport responsible for privitising British Rail cast as a deranged Scottish engine driver on the ‘Ghost Train To Hell’! Or is it just an eccentric band having a bit of a laugh?
