It turns out I really like doing Half Man Half Biscuit songs. Who would have guessed! I was practising this one for tonight's open mic session but then I thought it deserved some overdubs. It's a tale of gentrification, love, loss, trig points, and a pun or two.
The events in this song take place in South East Wales and Yorkshire. Lord Hereford's Knob, if you're wondering, is a mountain a few miles from the English border. I haven't climbed it, though I have been in its vicinity, particularly the nearby town of Hay on Wye, which I've visited a few times and always come away with a bootload of second hand books. I have climbed the other mountain mentioned in the song, Pen-y-ghent in the Yorkshire Dales, although I didn't see anyone in a bivvie at the time.
I've added a baritone uke and a glockenspiel, as well as some more vocals. Thanks for your enthusiastic hosting this week Liz!
