A song from the 90s, from my LP album 'Spiral Sky'. A folky tune with political lyrics. Some things have not changed and I can sing this now without it seeming dated. Then it was Thatcher, now it's her spawn in the shape of Cameron, IDS and his ilk. 

Kingdom For A Meaning

A punky driving pop tune of anger from my LP Spiral Sky in the late 90s. Rage against the isolation, the taboo of relationships for disabled people. 

Recorded as Kata Kolbert. Written and sung by me, arrangements by the band.

Praise for Penny

Jake Arnott, best selling British novelist and dramatist, author of The Long Firm and six other novels, on reviewing “First in the World Somewhere”.

"Penny Pepper's work is a virtuoso display of wit, invention and courage. It's thought-provoking and funny and moving and makes us see the world differently" - Dame Margaret Drabble

Passion and politics, wit and wickedness feature strongly in her work.
