The Wurzels
The Wurzels are an English Scrumpy and Western band from the West Country county of Somerset, founded by Adge Cutler and band manager John Miles in 1966 as Adge Cutler & The Wurzels. The band adopted their current name in 1974 after Cutler's tragic fatal car accident.
The Scrumpy and Western genre was created by the band and named after their first album. Their songs are sang in strong Somerset accents and revolve mostly around the theme of farming and rural life in keeping with region's predominantly agricultural character, often doing so in a light-hearted and comedic fashion.
Best known for their 1976 hits UK Number One "The Combine Harvester" and UK Number Three "I Am a Cider Drinker", they have continually performed for nearly 50 years through multiple lineup changes. They, being fans of the club, also wrote Bristol City's anthem.
