Some positive news now for our favourite Monaghan sons, and in a surprise move that has sent shock waves through the worlds of music, ploughing and Japanese Noh theatre, it was announced yesterday that guitarist with the Rolling Stones, Ronnie Wood, has sensationally quit the band during the middle of their record breaking world tour and has joined Big Tom & the Mainliners, who recently reformed and released their first album for 26 years - “What I Wouldn’t do for a Skullfull of Maggots”.Mainliners front man, Big Tom, told De Midlander last night, that he was “delighted” and said that Ronnie’s inclusion would allow the band to progress further beyond their country roots towards a branch of proto-dance industrial noise bluegrass, as was evident on several songs from their last album including “Women Shouldn’t Wear Socks” and “Skittery Knickers and a Mouldy Dockleaf.”
Following a short tour of Monaghan and Cavan in April, the band are due to embark on an extensive world tour which will include the Pacific Rim, the Sahel, and North and South Poles before they return to headline the Castleblaney Badger Throwing Festival in March 2010.
