IF, like me, you hail from the West Country, The Wurzels are pretty much living legends.

To the uninitiated, they are most likely seen as a novelty act, a bunch of bumpkins from the farm.

But they have been going strong now for nigh-on 50 years and lead singer Pete Budd and accordion-clad Tommy Banner have been there almost since the start.

Budd took the reins from band founder Adge Cutler, who died in a car accident in 1974.

In fact, the band’s mainstream success came after that tragic incident, including the number one hit The Combine Harvester.

It’s still one of their most popular songs and went down a storm as the finale for the Bournemouth crowd, after I am a Cider Drinker and the super-colloquial numbers such as Pill, Pill.

The band have also done humorous reworkings of more recent tracks, such as the Kaiser Chiefs’ Ruby, which was well-received here.

But it is their older, mostly-Cutler-penned, songs that are the ones that evoke, for people like me, the West Country way of life – always with tongue in cheek, of course.

The climax of the night should have been Drink Up Thy Zider, the track that simply sums it all up.

But, sadly, it wasn't. While most were happy finishing on Combine Harvester, I was just left a little wanting.
