As part of the esteemed, annual Dark Mofo Festival here in Hobart, I came to this gig not really knowing what to expect of a live performance from these champions of the UK working class, and how that may translate to a non-UK audience.

There’s not a band around at the moment like Sleaford Mods. The Nottingham two piece deliver minimalist beats punk beats courtesy of Andrew Fearn, and the people’s poetry of Jason Williamson, at once commenting on the social issues that affect us all, at another full of enthusiasm and humour, has this startlingly abrupt brilliance about …
