Jack Ketch and the Solents

On the ultra fast train from Folkestone back to King's Cross last night, we recorded the jam we had.  The carriage was empty yet the conductor still told us to keep it down.  This is me pretending to be Peter Bellamy...not good.
The song is from the book "Curiosities of Street Literature", a collection of articles from 19th century broadsides, often accompanied by songs inspired by the stories, assembled and published by Charles Hindley.  

Shocking Rape and Murder of Two Lovers

This is a recording of a jam/gig I played a small part in last night at a party in Folkestone (it's not The Transmutations)...and this is us getting hated on by a woman there.  She was either the girlfriend, or at least friend, of the lead singer of the ultra shit and pointless punk band that played before us.  Brilliant.

Very England.  No mercy.
