MIKE COLEMAN
Born Thornhill, Cumbria,
in the days when it was somewhere else. As a musician, he started
small: the mandolin. Terrorised the folk clubs of Scotland and
Northern England in the 1980s as part of anarcho-folkers Badger
In The Bag; recently released on good behaviour. Responsible
for the most dangerous tune titles in the Whapweasel repertoire.
Plays electric cittern (aka Cumbrian banjo) with Whapweasel and
guitar, acoustic cittern and 10-string mandolin with other consenting
adults.
Probably the most handsome member of the band.
