I personally gave the words of this song to Noel Murphy in a night club in Coventry in the early seventies and his only contribution to this song was to change the title to Murphy and the Bricks, and when this song was recorded Noel Murphy was obliged to remove his name from the writers credits, I still have a letter from Misty River Music to this effect. The song was based on Gerard Hoffnung's wonderful address to the Oxford Union, but the story in a more simple form dates back to the English music halls in the 1920's and appeared in the Readers Digest in 1937. I wrote this song under it's original title Paddy and the Barrell in 1969, and first performed it in The Dyers Arms in Coventry at this time, and in 1972 Sean Cannon, later to become a member of the Dubliners began to perform it in the folk clubs under the title The Sick Note. Over a long number of years there has been much speculation concerning this song. Subject: Origins: the sick note/ murphy and the bricks. Thread Name: the sick note/ murphy and the bricks. Cooksey's website has the official lyrics, the history, and (under releases) an MP3 of him singing his own song! The Urban Legends site take on this story. This song is based on the same story/joke referenced in the "Barrel of Bricks" speech by Gerard Hoffnung given at the Oxford Union (December 4th, 1958?)

This has stepped up in 2012 to seven UK Festival bookings plus charity, support and independent gigs, and a single release available to buy on iTunes, with an album due for release imminently.
The newer lineup lifted the band to a new level in 2011 with new recordings and a growing profile at UK festivals as well as playing in Dubai, giving the band great exposure. Later they were joined by Kyle Peters (Guitar) and finally one of the showmen of the band Ellis Waring (Mandolin/Guitar) joined in early 2011. The band split and reformed a few times, then following the tragic death of Paul Newbury in 2005, they were joined by Brad Drury (Dave Drury's Son) (Drums).
