The three piece – ‘three’s the magic number: the three musketeers, the three amigos, the holy trinity – Tim, Jono and Dan cite such contemporary influences as Squeeze, Nightingales, Jon Mclure, Killing Joke and early Bowie.

You might mistakenly think their name was cribbed from Michael Caine’s Zulu, but rather than being fans of the self confessed nosey neighbour, Bromheads have an altogether more plausible explanation for their chosen moniker. Back in ‘ Nam, early 66, our platoon was hit by a mortar attack which injured several men. One of those men was Billy Bromhead. Billy had been given his jacket by his father who was given it by his father. It had been passed down through generation to generation and Billy had to get the jacket to his son. We swore an oath that we would take his Jacket with us to the far corners of the earth until we could pass it on to the next generation.

The saga continues… Indeed it does, and it won’t take much longer than thirty seconds into the What Ifs and Maybes to realise that comedy and surrealist observation contribute much of Bromheads’ message. The band are seasoned travellers already; having recently played gigs from Wakefield to Wrexham and beyond. Bromheads Jacket will be back on the road on a pretty comprehensive UK tour in April. Catch them before they become far too hot .
