skinny lister are the latest new signings to rob da banks' sunday best recordings label, a label known for its anything goes signing policy. mixing up furious melee of english folk, in-your-face shanties, traditional ditties and their own infectious compositions, the band came together in the summer of 2009 united by their love of folk, jigs and the outdoors. their debut album 'forge and flagon' was recorded in deepest darkest snowdonia with producer david wrench (bat for lashes, james yorkston) and features 12 unforgettable tracks that will appeal to a wide cross section of fans, from fans of traditional quality folk, classic songwriting and alternative singalongs. think mumford and sons and lucy rose crossed with stornaway via the dubliners / the pogues.
