Shut Doon the Waggon Works - The Whisky Priests

Twin brothers, Gary & Glenn Miller (“the Joe Strummer and Mick Jones of Folk Music”), formed The Whisky Priests in August 1985 as teenagers with no previous musical experience but a burning creative vision. With an original line-up made up of old school friends, they played their first gig in their hometown of Durham on 4th October 1985. Within two months, and after only 2 gigs, they had recorded their first original song, 'Danny's Hard Life', written by Gary, for a local compilation album.
