Synopsis

The Wurzels are as renowned in the West Country as cider and Cheddar cheese. And now for the first time the group that has become a household name across Britain have revealed the true story of their rise to stardom from the world of farmyards and scrumpy. Their unique folk sounds, West dialects and rib-tickling lyrics have brought them national acclaim. But behind the scenes and the sounds has been a tough journey often littered with despair and heartbreak. From the early days of their founder Adge Cutler, who tragically died, to TV fame and the tub-thumping sounds of Combine Harvester, The Blackbird Song and more lately Ferry to Glastonbury, this is their story. So, Drink Up Thy Zider and enjoy the journey.
