The Raucous Please Y'Self rock skiffle band have strode the wide boundaries of cabaret, underground, grunge, pub-rock and late night Radio 2. After 30 years of playing alongside such names as Dire Straights, Lonnie Donegan and Jools Holland (actually joining in on stage!) - the chameleon group can fit into any genre and are something of a cult band.

They started as the Rag Bag Spasm Band, stomping the streets of Matlock, pounding countless pubs with their improvised chaos. When other members had floated away (or perhaps disassociated themselves) from the band, a small nucleus was left which evolved into renowned skiffle based band Please Y'Self.

Thirty years on, the manic 3-piece still reside in the Wirksworth, Matlock Bath and Starkholmes area of Derbyshire and still create a cocktail of mayhem, madness, rhythm and noise only this time with wash-board, tea-chest bass and grinding guitar.

However, Please Y'Self are more than friends; the Gills are family - brothers and sister who have been performing solidly together since 1972.
At their busiest moments Please Y'Self nearly caused a riot at an American air force base by howling out a Vietnam War protest song while the war still raged, and Chris was wearing out washboards every few months.
