I was listening to some 1930s Birmingham, AL field recordings today on an LP I bought second-hand, purely because it featured an artist named 'Peanut the Kidnapper'.
I'm just wondering what your favourite stage names of lesser-known artists might be?

Can’t think of any solo acts just off the cuff, but my three favourite band names:
R Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders
The Sanctimonious Grumblers
Jim & Bob, the Genial Hawaiians

I've posted this before. When I was growing up there used to be a local band, who had a banjo player by the way, called the Pheasant Pluckers (put the first two letters of each word in front of the other i.e. The Pleasant ...)

Being a South London Mod in the 60s I was keen on imported Ska records, Sir Lord Comic was always a stand out act.

When I was at school there was a popular tongue twister, along the lines of "She sells sea shells" I'm not a pheasant plucker I'm a pheasant plucker's son, But I'll stay here plucking pheasants until the pheasant plucker comes. Say it three times as fast as you can. Bonus points if there's a teacher in earshot at the time...

I have a band as an alter-ego myself, as it goes, and I'm in an occasional jazz duo with my mate. I'm quite pleased with the names of both, respectively The Near Death Experience and Jurassic Park Rangers.
On a broader note, I wish Jefferson Airplane had carried on calling themselves Blind Jefferson Airplane, after an imaginary blues singer, and that Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers were still around.

Hank Wangford trips off the tongue nicely... He he is in some salubrious company...

1970s band from Kilmarnock: Buster Hymen and the Penetrations. That’s Ayrshire for ye. Just ask Cams.
