But antifolk isn't about technical prowess, it's about telling your story, with whatever musical accompaniment you can muster. And with just his voice, guitar and considerable charm, Filthy's songs explore his obsessions with ancient history, sex and the inner workings of libraries with wit, humour and surprising poignancy.
