Sometime back in the last century, when punk music was still dangerous, visionary and urban poet Jeff King left his home town of Dublin to travel across Europe, guitar over his shoulder, moving from country to country, busking, drinking and tasting the wines and women before he paused for a rest in Bologna, Italy. He lived there for seven years, playing in various punk bands before moving again, this time to London, with a head full of ideas and a notebook full of drunken ramblings. It was here that the story of the international mongrel gypsy punk rockers ‘Drunken Balordi’ begins.
