I heard this song on the Desmond Carrington Show on BBC Radio 2 at the beginning of January 2016.
I fell in love with it and the following week I performed and recoded the song live at St David's Hotel in Cardiff at my resident live music show.
Words: Fran Landesman
Music: Tommy Wolf
From the musical 'The nervous set' 1959
