Boat to Bolivia

by Martin Stephenson & The Daintees

supported by

Ursula's Crow It's the spirit behind the music as much as the music itself. I'm old enough to remember the 80s skiffle revival: The Men They Couldn't Hang at The Dublin Castle and Martin at The Town and Country Club - there was drink taken, I believe!

Nick Hall It reminds me of when my wife & I met.

That and the fact that it's one of the best albums ever made Favorite track: Piece Of The Cake.

ecosharon9 Boat to Bolivia always makes me smile - no need to say any more than that. To me it's a timeless classic - just love it thank you 🙏💚💚 Favorite track: Boat To Bolivia.

about

The classic debut album from 1986. This put Martin and The Daintees on the musical map and into the hearts of a generation of lovers of original, rootsy music. A collection of songs that were broad-minded in their musical influences and positively daring in their lyrical content.

‘Aching with giddy emotion…this is an album to savour and cuddle tightly to your breast’ – Mike Gardner, Record Mirror, 24/5/86.

‘Here The Daintees dream in an often brilliant world of their own, laced with country, drenched in tuneful accessibility; crafting idiosyncratic pop from human beings mining hope and honesty in the day to day. A wonderful record which you should seriously consider buying’ – John McCready, NME, 10/5/86.
