A tongue in cheek look at gardening.
A humorous protest song about the month long saga of roadworks in George Street Nailsworth.
Dedicated to my grand daughter, Astrid.
This track looks at the current day as if from the perspective of the 1960's, comparing the optimism for the future that we had in the sixties with the reality of today. The artwork is a painting of my younger self by my mother, Patricia Hughes. Steve Cooper played the bass guitar on the recording.
In Support of refugees everywhere.
