Wild Billy Childish, cult British painter, writer and musician known musically for his raw blend of punk rock, garage, dustbin mod and blues that gained prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s as the frontman of bands like The Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats, and later The Buff Medways. In recent years, Childish has continued his musical odyssey recording a multiplicity (i.e. loads) of LPs under various guises including CTMF (Cunts Tossers & Mother Fuckers / Chatham Forts?) for primal punk garage, The William Loveday Intentions improvements of Bob Dylan compositions, instrumentals with The Guy Hamper Trio featuring James Taylor, blues folk with The Chatham Singers and collaborations with Medway folk(ist) band The Singing Loins that saw the birth of Childishs newest outfit The North Kent Folkways Revival (NKFWR) connecting the sounds and stories of his local Kentish roots, melding folk traditions and instrumentation with his punk spirit. Two studio albums by the NKFWR (The Speech of Karatakus and 'Cape Trafalgar') were recently released by Childishs own label Hangman Records via the L-13 Light Industrial Workshop (www.L-13.org) He continues to live, work and die in Chatham, Kent where he records regularly at the local Ranscombe Studios and paints as Artist in Residence at The Historic Dockyard.
