Cult figure Billy Childish is a poet, novelist, painter and musician, known primarily for pioneering the Medway Garage scene. Having released over 145 independent albums with The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, Thee Mighty Caesars, Thee Headcoats, The Buff Medways, The Musicians of the British Empire and The Chatham Singers, referring to Childish’s output as prolific would be an understatement. New project CTMF continues Childish’s long line of gritty productions.
