Charley Farley Sunday Four

Review: Looking for a thumping band for your next Barmitzvah. This 6-piece band, yes there really are six of them, and not four as the name suggests, play everything with a skiffle beat. But the only thing this band of brothers love more than pounding out some high-energy tunes, from the 50s to the naughties, is joking with the audience. Also getting them to sing (from hymn sheet handouts) and they even have their own easy-to-learn patented dance move. The Farley Brothers include Adam (Bass guitar and ukulele), Bruce (saxophone and trumpet), Charley (guitar), Jason (banjo), Tom (drums and percussion), and Phil (ukulele). All the tracks they play were written by Ma Farley, but stollen away by other artists such as The Coasters, The Coral, Merle Haggard, Jolie Holland, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Rihanna, Rolling Stones, Britney Spears, Tom Waits, Amy Winehouse, as well as other traditional songs.
