My name is David White. I am 5ft. 3in', (approx. depending on what time of year it is) and I am, at present a little portly (again depending on what time of year it is).

I am one of the founder members of a little known northern backwater band called MANFAT VOODOO. We formed in 1996 and we are mint ad everyone thinks so. But every time we travel to London to do our stuff and to make it big and famous, something happens on the way, like a flood or a storm or an eclipse or a war or a bean stalk and we never really get to where we want to be and we have to turn back to Scarborough (our home town). Its weird. In fact the last time we set out for fame and fortune our drummer James died. Nightmare.
Anyway we have produced 5 E.P's and one C.D. album of original material. We produced all of our own promotional materials - flyers, posters, tickets, tape/C.D covers and T-Shirts. To our delight, these were all begged, borrowed (stolen) or sold. The remaining ones can be seen in the Photo + Poster Archive of our web site, as can a comprehensive guide to just about every gig we have done since 1996 on The Mighty Manfat Voodoo Time Line in the History section of our web site.
This year the PRS Foundation have give us an award which we are quite chuffed about because it means that we can now afford to realise a project which we have been planning for a while; our TRIPLE album (or double album depending on some stuff). Anyway I'll tell you how it went at a later date. They also have give us some monies towards a nice P.A system so we don't have to rely on 'The Man' to hire us his P.A.
Manfat Voodoo love the PRS Foundation.
A lot.
We can't easily describe what we do or what we sound like, so here are a few things that have been said about us:
"Mad, Bad or Genius….if the aliens from Mars Attacks ever made up a band they would sound like Manfat Voodoo. There is something about this band that disturbs me, a real oddball sleaze packet!" - Panic Magazine
" Manfat Voodoo?..What a load of w*nk... I despair of our youth" - Holly Hernandez , The Melody Maker
"One of the best unsigned bands in Britain" - The Talent Scout
"The thinking mans krankies!" - Paul Toole , The Talbot
"Off beat, confident and memorable" - Rhythm Magazine
"Stunning and hilarious, Manfat Voodoo deserve a major record contract" - Pete Bell, The Cultural Foundation.
MFV have plans for the future but we will not divulge any further information. In theory of course we should be sat on our comfortable chaise longue, drinking fine, fine wine in our country cottages but we aren't, so it's back to work Mr White and shut the door.
May U live 2 see the dawn.
