A Shilling was the original daily pay of soldier in the army. The story goes that if weren't careful the recruiter would put a King's Shilling in your drink and force you into the army.
This is a song for those left behind and the sorrow they bear.

King's Shilling

There is sorrow in loss, even when the loss is yet to come. 
This song is about father realising that grief he felt at the loss of his parents will one day be the grief that his own children will face when his time comes.

King's Shillings - Instrumental

I spent a long time as a child, sitting looking out of my bedroom window. There was always so much of interest going on.

A very special view was from our house, on Bay View terrace, in Porthleven, Cornwall.

As the name suggests, you could see out across Mounts Bay to Penzance and Newlyn as well as keeping an eye on the harbour itself.

I loved Porthleven; Its scruffy, workmanlike, nature and I loved all the characters it fostered.
But, like so many coastal towns, it’s been gradually sanitized for tourist consumption.

That's fine, and change is.. inevitable. 

Where once there were 'Butchers, Bakers, Shipwrights, Shopkeeprs' it now feels a little like a Fishing Harbour 'Theme park'.
 
A lament for old Porthleven, my hometown.


Porthleven (Bay View No.2)

Roll out, your hometown 
It will never be the same 
The people have gone 
And time has moved on 
And now no one knows your name 

The cars drive through 
But there's no one there now, looking out for you 
Up the steps to bay view, No.2 

Working boats, anecdotes.
Stories of the past 
For sentimentalists like me 
Long lost tales, winter gales 
Anchored 'down below' 
Now there's nothing there to see 

The cars drive through 
But there's no one here now, looking out for you 
Up the steps to bay view, No.2 

Butchers, Bakers, Shipwrights, Shopkeepers.
Theme Park gift shop, Gallery restaurant.

Roll out, your hometown 
It will never be the same 
The people have gone 
And time has moved on 
And now no one knows your name 

The cars drive through 
But there's no one here now, looking out for you 
Up the steps to Bay View, No.2

Vincent became interested in mixing/DJing back in the 80s when he first heard a street sounds hip hop electro album and wondered how they managed to join the individual tracks up so seamlessly.

Having collected vinyl his whole life he bought a mixer in 1989 (no easy thing in Cornwall back then) and started trying to beat match on his father’s turntables.

Vincent got his own Technics 1210s mk2 in the early 90s and after some practice, he was soon playing house, hardcore and techno at parties across the Southwest under the name of DJ Cutting Edge.

Jungle and Drum and Bass seemed to be the next step. After listening to LTJ Bukem’s first essential mix in 1995 he really started to follow the Intelligent Drum and Bass sound.

Today, and now a DMC competitor and tutor, Vincent can be found playing Liquid and Liquid Funk tunes, delighting crowds across the Southwest with some nice a-men break business and sweet turntablism out of love for the old school. From time to time he can be found dropping a Jungle set somewhere in Cornwall as well performing at various House and Hip Hop events.
