Connolly as the “funniest man in England”.
From the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, they grew up playing the
traditional music of their forefathers. This all changed when they heard
an AC/DC record and they decided that the songs were very fine Country
music and that the Lost Highway of Brother Hank Williams and the
Highway To Hell of AC/DC were on the same road!
