"The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor (Hammond organ). Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early '80s, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet. The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums -- who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ -- and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ. The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognized as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music. Their first 45 (Polygraph Test/Sally Sensation) was released in 2009, followed by a full-length studio album, All The Poisons In The Mud, appearing, as if by magic, in 2022, followed by five 7" singles, and also two further full-length albums. This fully-loaded three-track 7" EP includes 'Chatham's Burning' on the opening face, with Face B including 'A Common Disease and 'If People Don't Like It', both featuring Bash Brand on drums, and Tub Johnson on bass. Once again, after consultation with experts in the field, it was decreed that for the enjoyment of Mods, jive experts, lost revellers, and those prone to frequent discotheques, these tracks needed to be on a 7" single and made available throughout England, the UK, Europe, the USA, Indonesia and indeed Portsmouth."

"Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats, and The Buff Medways being just a few outfits that Billy has run into the ground. But all that is just a hobby gone out of control -- his day job is being an internationally exhibited artist, writer and vermin poet. Specializing in Chicago style Blues, The Chatham Singers have released five albums since 2005, via Hangman Records and Damaged Goods, and over a dozen 7" singles, some rarer than others, some worse than others. The Chatham Singers are Billy Childish on vocals/guitar, Juju on vocals/bass, Wolf Howard on drums/percussion, and 'Bludy' Jim Riley on harp. Here comes a full long player, which includes some of the songs from records only available as limited 45's, free at their sell-out shows. some of them recorded by The Hangman Field Recording Unit, and others at Bludy Jim's Ranscombe shack. Get Hip and Boogie Chillin'!"
