Geoff Jr: Rockin', Rollin'

This touring theatrical act is performed by a man claiming to be two things: the long lost son of Geoffrey Chaucer and nearly six hundred years old. In being both of these things, Geoff Jr (of geoffchaucerjunior.com) has put together two of what hopes to be many one-man plays. The first is titled "A Random History of Rock and Roll in Middle English". With this work Geoff Jr claims that many of today's most popular and widely known songs were in fact written by the six-hundred-year-old bard in middle English. Being a firm believer in "living tradition", he has never bothered to record his work. When questioned by skeptics, Geoff Jr delivered his scathing rebuttle: "the industrie of musick be full of plagerists and queynts". Geoff Jr's second effort is a musical rendition of his father's most hilarious comedy "The Miller's Tale". Geoff Jr's most recent performance saw him performing at the Crown Beer Festival in Kent, but unfortunately he has no plans of crossing the water to appear in Canada. He is coming to terms with the modern world, however, and will be recording a disc of his greatest ballads for all to hear. Check him out at http://www.geoffchaucerjunior.com/
