attitude-laden, energetic and fun. www.dirtylove.me.uk www.myspace.com/dirtyloving
Valleys punks FOREIGN LEGION formed way back in 1984 in Merthyr Tydfil,
South Wales. They played with Jo Strummer and also played a sold out show
with fellow Welsh heroes The Alarm in the early 90,s. Since 2000 The band

date……long live The Legion. www.myspace.com/foreignlegionpunk

twenty years recording and touring the world with John Martyn also insisted
