Tadpole and Co were active on the alternative cabaret circuit in the 1980s. Performing alongside such note-worthy artists as Henry Normal (writer and performance poet) and Jo Brand (world famous comedienne). They were billed by Nick Toczek as "The Essence of English Eccentricity" with good reason. How a three piece band could simulate the sinking of the Titanic or the destruction of Herculaneum remains one of history's greatest mysteries. They were funny, irreverent, totally politically incorrect and at times downright silly.... Enjoy the silliness, disregard the naughtiness, they wished to offend everybody and nobody at one and the same time....

Now retired, Oliver devotes his time to playing flute, harp and freelance illustration, he is writing the illustrated book to end all books! Laetitia meanwhile pursues an interest in serious poetry, having published her third anthology recently, while steadfastly continuing to work in music and education....

Their cult following of 3 people continually dogs them to publish and it is for this reason we present our website celebration of the insanity that was Tadpole and Co.

Beware.... it has some very slightly naughty bits and just a few very slightly rude words..... oooooooooooh smokin'!!!
