Host Patrick Breen sits down with Chumbawamba lead guitarist and co-founder Boff Whalley to talk about the band's success, political activism, and to discuss his latest work in writing/recording. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/patrick-breen5/support

Keep up to date with Boff via his website here https://boffwhalley.com/ Allan Mark "Boff" Whalley is an English musician and writer. Formerly the lead guitarist for the anarcho-punk and folk band Chumbawamba, he is now a playwright and the founder of Commoners Choir who released their first album in March 2017. Early life and education Whalley was born Allan Mark Whalley in 1961 in Burnley, Lancashire. Before joining Chumbawamba he attended Art College in Maidstone and worked in a supermarket and as a postman. His parents were both primary school teachers. He has a sister named Annie. Career Together with his fellow members of Chimp Eats Banana, Midge (Michael Hartley) and Danbert Nobacon, Whalley moved from Burnley to Leeds in 1981, and studied at the University of Leeds. He dropped out after a year before moving into the South View House squat in Armley. It was at this squat that he was part of an Anarchist collective that later became the band Chumbawamba. Chumbawamba was a hardcore punk band in the style of DC punk, or LA punk. In 1984, when the British coal mining industry was privatised by Margaret Thatcher's government and the National Union of Mineworkers began protesting, Chumbawamba became even more politically active in equal rights and labour rights. Whalley became a guitarist despite describing himself as being of "limited ability". He continued to play guitar and sing while doing a series of other jobs such as shopworker, newspaper delivery man, typesetter, and cartoonist. In 2013, Whalley wrote a musical drama "Wrong 'Un" which was performed in Norwich. It was based on the life of suffragette Grace Marcon. Fell running Beyond his musical career, Whalley has been prominent in the fell running scene, particularly in West Yorkshire, running at a relatively high standard. Touring and recording commitments have influenced the extent to which he has been able to pursue this activity. He was instrumental in the production of the Fellternative fell running fanzine in the early 1990s. photo credit Kyla Goody Whalley recorded a song called "Stud Marks on the Summits", inspired by a chance meeting with legendary fell runner Bill Smith. Whalley took up fell running as a result. He was paraphrased as having said Smith "encapsulated the ethos of the sport – its emphasis on self-reliance and nature and its history."

Welcome to our conversation with the Musician and Artist Boff Whalley.  Boff was formerly the lead-guitarist of British anarchist punk band Chumbawumba. Best known for their 1997 single "Tubthumping".Boff grew up in Burnley, in a Morman family. He embraced the art and punk scenes, experimented with different types of music, and with his anarchist mates from the squat formed Chumbawumba which became famous for Tubthumping and pouring water over John Prescott at the 1998 Brits. Chumbawumba, unusually, seem to have navigated their way through an industry with their values intact. It's a fascinating story where Boff and others seem to have found a way to balance being oneself with being part of a group . . . and thrived.

Clare chooses some favourite moments from her Ramblings year:Join brothers Manni and Reuben Coe who amble down to Hive Beach in Dorset on a calm summer's day.

Boff Whalley is perhaps best known for being the guitarist in Chumbawumba, whose smash hit 'Tubthumping' included the immortal refrain 'I get knocked down but I get up again'. But away from the stage, Whalley is a devoted fell runner who's passionate about preserving people's access to wild places. It's an issue he and his collaborator Daniel Bye explore in their play, These Hills Are Ours, which is back on the road this October.For more on Boff Whalley, visit boffwhalley.com For more on These Hills Are Ours, visit danielbey.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

The drama draws upon interviews with Ukrainian refugees and features new music by Boff Whalley and a cast of Ukrainian performers.

This is the late 1970s and '80s as explained through the urgent and still-relevant songs of the Clash, the Specials, the Au Pairs, the Style Council, the Pet Shop Boys, and nearly four hundred other bands and solo artists. Each chapter presents a mixtape (or playlist) of songs related to an alarming feature of Thatcher's Britain, followed by an analysis of the dialogue these artists created with the Thatcherite vision of British society. "Tell us the truth," Sham 69 demanded, and pop music, however improbably, did. It's a furious and sardonic account of dark times when pop music raised a dissenting fist against Thatcher's fascist groove thing and made a glorious, boredom-smashing noise. Bookended with contributions by Dick Lucas and Boff Whalley as well as an annotated discography, The Fascist Groove Thing: A History of Thatcher's Britian in 21 Mixtapes (PM Press, 2023) presents an original and polemical account of the era. Hugh Hodges has written extensively on African and West Indian music, poetry, and fiction, including essays on Fela Kuti, Lord Kitchener, and Bob Marley. Linton Kwesi Johnson praised his book Soon Come as "extremely engaging and an important, original scholarly work." He currently teaches at Trent University, Ontario, where his research focuses on cultural resistance in its many forms, and his band the Red Finks remains hopelessly obscure.

Boff Whalley is an author and musician (you may remember his old band Chumbawamba and their global hit "Tubthumping"),who put "Fell Runner" as occupation on his daughter's birth certificate. Gary Devine is his mate from the Leeds punk scene of the 1980s, who is a former British champion fell runner. "Faster! Louder!" is Boff's new book, all about Gary, and fell running, and punk rock. It is a damn good book, because Boff is a damn good author.Beaming in from the Yorkshire Dales (Boff) and the Swiss Alps (where Gary now lives) to the base of the Catskill Mountains (where host Tony Fletcher resides), they answer the question on every non fell-runner's lips:What is Fell Running?They also answer the question:Why Is It Punk Rock?And over the course of a fun-filled conversation, they also discussWhy fell running does not follow designated trails.Why the shortest way to the bottom of a hill is not always the quickest.Why the shortest way to the top of a hill is not always the quickest.Why the best way to get to the pub early is to finish the race early.Why Brits join running clubs and whether that is truly punk.Whether to sniff glue or not sniff glue.Whether Gary Devine is a force of nature, was genetically predestined to be a champion, trained as hard as he partied, or whether it was a combination of all three that made him national champion.Why everyone should listen to the One Step Beyond episode with Damian Hall.The importance of women runners in fell running.The importance of protecting the environment.And the importance of getting out in nature so as to relate to that environment.Throughout, Tony resists asking Boff what a fell runner should do if he gets knocked down."Faster! Louder! How a punk rocker from Yorkshire became British Champion Fell Runner" is available through Great Northern Books.Boff Whalley can be found at https://www.facebook.com/boff.whalley if you ask nicelyGary Devine can be found running up the French Alps, if you can catch him.Tony Fletcher will be found running again, if he recovers from his fractured knee.

Boff Whalley is best known for Tubthumping with the band Chumbawamba but now he's a core member of the Leeds based Commoners Choir which he founded. They sing about the world around them, about inequality and injustice, and they also love to walk. Cath Long, a fellow member, wrote to Ramblings to ask Clare to join them on a hike in the South Pennines near Todmorden in Calderdale, West Yorkshire. So, on a chilly, wet and blustery Saturday in early January, they met by the Shepherd's Rest pub and headed into the hills to ramble and sing. Boff created a choir manifesto, and one aim was to 'rehearse until we're brilliant' and they really are. Their Skelmanthorpe Flag Song, which they performed at the historic Basin Stone, was heard by fellow walkers at least two miles down in the valley. On a circular hike, which began and ended at the pub, they stopped off at Gaddings Dam, often described as the highest beach in the UK, where some choir members took the plunge and sang out from the wind-blown waves of the reservoir.

Hope is the ground from which so much of our religious tradition springs.

Commoners Choir is a project of the English musician Boff Whalley of Chumbawamba fame. They have given First Houston permission to perform a selection of their songs in over the course of the year.

Episode 92 - Daniel Bye & Boff Whalley - These Hills Are Ours​Dan and Boff decided to run a series of routes from the centre of the city in which they found themselves, to the top of the peak overlooking the city.  In story and in song, this is the story of what they found out – about the relationship between city and country, between wild and controlled, about land ownership, about why we're drawn to wild places – and about what we're really running from. These Hills Are Ours is the most personal piece of work either Dan or Boff has made, the most heartfelt, and the most direct.

Boff Whalley - Faster! Louder!: How a punk rocker from yorkshire became British Champion fell runner... with TRE's Hannah Murray

On 6 October 1941 “The Coventry Telegraph” reported that women of Coventry had sent a message of support to the women of Stalingrad. And so began a relationship that became formalised by twin city status in 1844. Coventry now has 26 twin cities and those connections are celebrated in a new project, Twin Cities: Postcard Poems which paired ten poets from Coventry with poets from across the world. The resulting correspondence led to new poems being written and we hear from two of the poets involved: Emile Lauren Jones – the newly announced Coventry Poet Laureate - and David Morley. Boff Whalley came to public attention as part of the exuberant pop group – Chumbawumba. He joins Front Row to discuss the Belgrade Theatre's new musical, Ruff Tuff Cream Puff Estate Agency. It's a show that he's written the music for, and which is based on a true housing story that happened in London in the 1970s, Members of the cast of The Ruff Tuff Cream Puff Estate Agency perform one of the songs in the musical - B.N.V.A. R The Twin Cities: Postcard poems have also been collected into a new book – To Coventry by Sun. Poet Jane Commane is the editor of the new collection and as well as the organiser of the Twin Cities: Postcard poems project. She talks to Nick about Coventry's multi-twinned status and how correspondence from abroad can help us to see our homes afresh. The distinguished 19th century African-American actor, writer, and theatre manager, Ira Aldridge, makes an appearance in the world premiere of a new play, This Little Relic, set in present-day Coventry. The writer and actor Karla Marie Sweet, has written the play and discusses why she wanted to bring Ira Aldridge back to the future.

A new play written by writer/performer Daniel Bye and singer/songwriter and former Chumbawumba guitarist Boff Whalley, These Hills Are Ours is about to visit Harrogate and York. Graham reads from his work in progress biography of local musician, Chris Simpson and his work with British prog rock/folk rock band, Magna Carta.

Chumbawamba are globally ubiquitous for their song Tubthumping, appearing on numerous one-hit-wonder compilation albums. But Chumbawamba are no flash in the pan pop group. They were a band for thirty years from 1982 to 2012 and Boff Whalley was there for it all. Enter the crazy multifaceted world of Chumbawamba in this instalment of The David Eagle Podcast.

He co-founded and played guitar in Chumbawamba, and has done too many things creatively to enumerate here, but Boff Whalley and the rest of the band, as well as the punk movement, were influenced by comedy.  One shining example is … Continue reading →

This week I interviewed Boff Whalley the singer and guitarist for the "WE do all things how we want to" band Chumbawamba. I have known him as the "Other Mormon Anarchist" for 15 years. We cover his current musical work, history, and of course "Anarchist" politics. There is no end to loving their music, 18 or so albums (I really have no idea how many actually) they encourage you to steal their music, and still do. http://boffwhalley.com/ http://www.chumba.com/index.html

As the UK Labour Party packs its collective suitcase for the annual conference in Brighton on Sunday, we'll be taking a closer look at proposed changes from its national executive, on how party leaders are elected. US President Donald Trump gave his maiden speech to the United Nations this week, and while his comments on North Korea have dominated global headlines we'll be taking a closer look at what else his speech tells us about the Trump administration's foreign policy aims. And, when the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson said her party was the “Chumbawamba of politics”, we thought we'd ask Chumbawamba - or at least their former lead guitarist Boff Whalley, if he agreed
