After a year off I thought I'd ease my way back into recording with this electric version of a song I wrote back in the 80's, which I used to play simply with acoustic guitar.

I Was A Fool

The hole that was loved!!
Gone but not forgotten....for many Sheffielders this 'near-brutalist' structure (see picture) remains a fondly-missed refuge and meeting place. Hole int' Road (to use the proper vernacular) was built in 1967 but filled in in 1994 to make way for the new tram system. Officially called Castle Square Roundabout it occupied the site of markets going back to 1296. The site is now a tram stop, with just distant memories of the subterranean meeting place with its benches, shops and even the famous fish tank. Shame indeed!
