A 320-page large format hardback book with over 200 full colour image and packed with stories from current and former members of Cossack-punk pioneers The Ukrainians along with memories from fans, friends and musical collaborators, including David Gedge (The Wedding Present), Jan Wobble (Invaders of the Heart, PiL), Andrew 'Whitey' White (Kaiser Chiefs), Harri Kakoulli (Squeeze), TV Smith (The Adverts) and Shaun Charman (Jetstream Pony, The Wedding Present).
'The Legendary' Len Liggins (so christened by Radio 1 DJ John Peel) was in a band called The Sinister Cleaners in late 1980s Leeds when he met Peter Solowka, guitarist with The Wedding Present. Len's knowledge of Slavic languages and Peter's passion to unearth the culture of his Ukrainian heritage led to them forming The Ukrainians in 1991. Over 30 years later, Len and Peter continue to perform their music to audiences around the world. Len lives in Norfolk, UK.
Born in Middleton, Manchester, Peter Solowka is of Ukrainian heritage and was the guitarist with Leeds Indie heroes The Wedding Present ('The Smiths fans' second favourite band') when he met Len Liggins. Together they formed The Ukrainians, and have toured the world with their unique take on the music of a once neglected culture. Peter lives in Oldham, UK.
