Credit crunch rockers sing the blues

There are different ways to respond to an economic meltdown. Five hard-up British builders saw an opportunity to form a band. And they've been singing their way out of recession at a building site in London's Canary Wharf.
The band, called 'Canary Wolf', burst into song while nervous bankers watched from the windows of neighbouring skyscrapers.
The group swapped shovels for microphones in order to bring some much-needed cheer in what's turned out to be the worst financial year in living memory.
The band crashed onto the music scene more than a month ago and have played several concerts since then, including gigs at The Space in Westferry Road and at Millers at London Bridge.
