	Tom Greenhalgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While primarily credited as a guitarist in the early Mekons recordings, Greenhalgh's roles as lead singer and songwriter came to the forefront after the band regrouped and evolved stylistically in the 1980s.
		Greenhalgh has taken part in a number of Mekons-related projects, many of which include Jon Langford.
		Greenhalgh has also performed on the Langford-organized Pine Valley Cosmonauts albums, contributing a cover of Hank Williams's "Angel of Death" to 2003's anti-death penalty benefit, The Executioner's Last Songs Vol.

	Encyclopedia: Tom Greenhalgh
		Thomas Charles Greenhalgh (1956-11-04 in Stockholm, Sweden -) is a multimedia artist and singer-songwriter best known for his work with the Mekons.
		Greenhalgh's voice, which predominates, is querulous, preacherly, and tends toward a quavery falsetto.
		The angry guitars here are tempered by mandolin, banjo, bagpipes and harmonica, but this is not folk-rock, except the waltz "Wild and Blue", one of the four songs featuring the wonderful Sally Timms on lead vox.

		Longtime corps favorite "Mariah" with Tom Greenhalgh on soprano solo set the table for the bass line downbeat to kick in.
		Pete Prophe, Tom Brady, and Rich Yelnick were at mid season form with their solo work as "Hang Em High" and the "Magnificent Seven" had the fans clapping time while the Hurcs high stepped their way to a large standing ovation.

	Mekons
		Over the years (and two cities), they've been through more members than nearly any rock band in history, but (nearly) legendary drummer/guitarist/vocalist Jon Langford as well as multi-instrumentalist Tom Greenhalgh, both founders of the band, have stayed central to the band's evolving vision.
		They've gradually lost the punk sounds displayed on early singles such as "Where Were You," "Another One," and especially the early classic "Never Been in a Riot" a jibe at the Clash's "White Riot" and have brought in more of the pub rock which surrounded them in their native country.
		Recent performances are likely to feature such stalwart members as Sally Timms, Rico Bell, and Tom Greenhalgh.

	Politics weigh heavily in pesticide approval process, critics say (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In the 1990s, Greenhalgh and Murray spent several years analyzing the damage done by the contaminated DuPont herbicide, Benlate, which caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses to farmers and nursery owners in Florida and elsewhere.
		Greenhalgh said that in some cases scientists felt the chemicals were dangerous to ground water.
		Simons and Greenhalgh said the scientists from the agriculture and environmental protection departments felt so undermined that, in late 1995 or early 1996, they decided to hold a secret meeting at an FDEP office to come up with solutions to the problem.

	* Dusted Reviews - The Mekons *
		Tom Greenhalgh and Andrew Corrigan have appeared in too many collaborations to name, and the band has played with everyone from the Sex Pistols to Yo La Tengo.
		Although the basic punk attack hasn’t changed, age and time have altered the feel and the resonance of the songs, not only because the band is more "mature" but because they have an entirely different energy.
		The vocals on most of the tracks belong to Greenhalgh and Timms, swinging between the former’s aggressive, barking tunes and the latter’s cracked country interpretations.

	Curse of the Mekons
		I felt we were making a coherent Mekons album that for me isn't as interesting as pushing a bit further and maybe making something that you lose control over.
		The voices of Jon Langford and Tom Greenalgh suit the music but may be a bit of an acquired taste for those used to more - eh - polish.
		In short, this is powerful, intelligent music that animates the stinking corpse of rock long enough for it to spit in the face of the doctors still checking it for vital signs.

	The Mekons: Fear and Whiskey: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Singer/guitarists Tom Greenhalgh and Jon Langford bellow, cheer and grumble through the noise.
		They sing about booze, they sing about politics, and most of all, they sing about despair: Greenhalgh opens "Chivalry" with, "I was out late the other night/ Fear and whiskey kept me going," while the heroic tune from the violin keeps him upright.
		Every disaster turns into a victory anthem, from Greenhalgh and Langford shouting through "Hard to Be Human Again," to "Abernant 1984/85," which is a glorious waltz no matter how bleak the lyrics ("They seek to destroy us/ How much more is there left to lose?").

		The Mekons' original incarnation, of which only Langford and Tom Greenhalgh remain, were Class Clowns of '77.
		In "Empire of the Senseless" Greenhalgh taunts censors that "this song promotes homosexuality/ It's in a pretend family relationship with the others on this record/ And on the charts and on the radio." But the song never did crash those bigger parties; it sold about 23,000 copies in the U.S., and A&M dropped them.
		The core Mekons are the same now as in the mid-1980s: Langford, Greenhalgh, Timms, Bell, bass player Sarah Corina, drummer Steve Goulding, violinist Susie Honeyman and guitarist/oudist/cumbusist Lu Edmonds.

		Central to this predictably awkward change of direction is the band's long-standing relationship with sound engineer Jon Gill (Gill and Greenhalgh are also members of Edward II and The Red Hot Polkas).
		Obviously aware of situationist tracts such as The Revolution of Everyday Life, Tom admits that any influence is "only in the direct sense that it has been an influence on everybody -- seeping through from the Pistols thing".

	Robert Christgau: Loser on a Roll: Jon Langford
		Impressive as all this extracurricular activity is, however, it clearly stems from Langford's music--unless you want to say that like his music it stems from his spirit, which just gets larger as the responsibilities mount and the years roll on.
		Although his singing gained bravura with 1998's solo-with-backup Skull Orchard--so that his version of fellow Welshman Tom Jones's "Delilah" is a vocal peak of the new death-penalty set, murderous misogynist claptrap and jolly good waltz all at once--he's obviously not much of a musician qua musician.
		Though Greenhalgh's counterpart Dean Schlabowske understands economic oppression (check the traveling salesman's lament "Circle Tour"), it's the Wacos' populist form that tells.

	TrouserPress.com :: Mekons
		Punk's reigning contrarians, the Mekons, were formed in Leeds, England, in 1977 by art students Jon Langford and Tom Greenhalgh.
		Mutant country records haunted by the long shadow of the Reagan-Thatcher era (as epitomized by singer/guitarist Greenhalgh's cry that "It's hard to be human again"), both albums and two companion EPs (Crime and Punishment and Slightly South of the Border) collect bleary-eyed waltzes, ballads and mid- tempo mood pieces.
		Fear and Whiskey is a ragged album with sturdily memorable tunes that mix equal parts of electrified rustic country dance music and cow-rock, using fiddle, piano and harmonica as well as guitars and drums.

		Back in 1976, the Mekons were fine arts students at Leeds University, and being in a band was just what you did - at least if you were a bit adventurous and alive to the possibility of punk, as exemplified by the Sex Pistols.
		It was certainly what Tom Greenhalgh and Jon Langford did.
		And, given the parlous state of finances, it needed to be somewhere not too expensive.

		Their lineup has changed considerably, with only co-frontmen Jon Langford and guitarist Tom Greenhalgh remaining from the band's earlier incarnation, but there's still a kind of slaphappy elegance to their sound which makes them utterly distinctive.
		In 1991, Langford and singer Sally Timms moved to Chicago, and have since enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Quarterstick Records, putting out half a dozen albums.
		It has the intimate, melancholy feeling of a group of lifelong friends chewing over some of life's conundrums in a rented cabin somewhere far away from the city -- a little drunk, a little sad, a little sleepy.

		Langford joined his art-school cronies, including Tom Greenhalgh, in a band that proudly proclaimed that it couldn't play its instruments.
		Greenhalgh remembers releasing "Work All Week" as a single in the same week that Public Image Ltd. was releasing "Public Image," their classic post-punk clearing of the decks.
		Now with the glee of kids empowered to smash the toys they once built with their own hands, the Mekons once again redefine "punk rock" to suit themselves.

		Expecting to be embarrassed, Greenhalgh said they instead found the songs “quite satisfying to do, like archeology.” Langford agrees: “There was sort of a strength to them, a continuity [with later work] we didn’t really know existed.”
		This continuity is especially surprising because Greenhalgh and Langford are the only holdouts remaining from the late-’70s Mekons lineup that first recorded the songs exhumed and reworked on Punk Rock (Quarterstick), the group’s 21st album.
		Greenhalgh, who’s also writing songs for a side project of his own, says “We want to work on the next album in a different way from the last few to base it much more on a live-band sound,” he says.

	* Dusted Reviews - Sally Timms *
		The toy store xylorimba beat on Jon Langford’s “Sentimental Marching Song” undercuts its sentiment about all men being born to brutalize at the same time that the studio beats and squalls of guitar feedback come to reinforce it.
		Tom Greenhalgh’s slow-motion guitar heroics on “Corporal Chalkie” do no favors to the grandstanding narrator; and needless to say, the strangeness of his tale sounds even stranger through Timms’ subdued cabaret hiss.
		Dowd’s own “139 Hernalter Gürtel” is a bizarre free-association between marital and sexual conquest, and here it opens as a synth-pop spoken word piece (from which Timms drew the album’s title) and ends in a disjointed spiral of falsetto vocals.

	The Mekons: Punk Rock - PopMatters Music Review
		What people perhaps didn't fully realize, people including Jon Langford and Tom Greenhalgh, who've maintained the Mekons ever since, is that the late '70s and early '80s Mekons were writing songs that expressed the cynicism, spite, humor and twisted optimism of punk as well as anyone else banging on a guitar at the time.
		What probably would've seemed even less likely is that those songs would stand up again, worthy of a recount, 25 years later -- although Jon and Tom might've guessed that the situations that inspired punk would cycle back around, if they ever went away in the first place.
		And thus it came to be that, in an age in which Tony Blair's (and George W.'s) Dan Dare, hot-blooded heroics of bold white men aesthetic has risen again to salute all kinds of flags with a tear in the eye, the Mekons have transformed themselves again.

	Fear and Whiskey, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		The Mekons were one of the most loved and hated bands on the late-'70s/early-'80s punk scenes in England.
		Country melodies collide into reggae rhythms and drones to create a forlorn tale in "Trouble Down South"; the title track is pure Hank hillbilly with lyrics that may not be as simple and poetic but do the job, as the tune creates a base from which to pick up the bottle or dance.
		Seriously, there isn't a song on this disc that Langford and Greenhalgh don't turn into some epic repudiation of capitalism, depersonalization, greed, and social engineering.

	Mekons prove music has more to say
		Tom Greenhalgh and Jon Langford, the group's key songwriters, have penned some of the last decade's most rightous and desperate tunes.
		On "Funeral" Langford mourns the death of fake socialism crying out "This is my testimony/a dinosaur's confession/how can something really be dead when it hasn't even happened." On the anthemic "Authority" Greenhalgh chants that a "free" society can actually be controlled by class struggle and the mass media.
		But the real gems are the songs with Sally Timms singing lead.
