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

Two cowboys on the road
Too young to really know
To see how far the pebble throws
While the sun still shines and the river flows

When we were two kliks down on the Camel Trail
Chasing after that dragon’s tail
We can reminisce when we’re old and frail
We’ve got so long to go
Til’ we face that great unknown
Just watch us go

Now the years perform their dreadful dance
Do we keep in touch or leave it to chance
Is that the way it goes with best laid plans
Do I still recall your final glance?

When we were two kliks down on the camel trail
Chasing after that dragon’s tail
I can reminisce when I’m old and frail 
You had so long to go
But you chose that great unknown
And I watched you go

I sit and watch my TV set 
In the years of silence and regret
But I can still see both them cowboys yet
And I recall the friend I love the best

When we were two kliks down on the Camel Trail
Chasing after that dragon’s tail
So I reminisce now I’m old and frail 
For it’s not long to go
Til I face that great unknown
We’ve all got to go
All got to go
And I’ve got to go

Camel Trail

Through the valley, through the trees
Cross the river, like the breeze
Like the breeze, like the breeze
Little Otter, like the breeze

Through the water, one more lunge
You can make it, take the plunge
Take the plunge, take the plunge
Little Otter, take the plunge
 
Through the rapid raging foam
Let the current take you home
Take you home, take you home
Little Otter, take you home


Otter Sanctuary

The Perfect Pitch Show with Vincent Vega - NCB Radio, 8.11.25

Airey mouse, airey mouse fly over my head
And you shall have a crust of bread
And when I brew, or when I bake,
You shall have a piece of my wedding cake.

Early bitten,
breakfast smitten,
You awake,
Stretching in bed like a homespun kitten.
Oh aye, there she is,
There is my sweet little miss.
Come come, sun’s all up,
Tide is in, so let’s begin.


“Five more minutes, Tad…”

“Oh aye, but only five more.
Better get going to see what,
What the day has in store”

Sweet so sweet,
My feet knows this street.
Knows the brine and salt,
Set on my skin,
The sea knows,
English-oak hair in the wind.

And I know,
Know this little place is ours.
Pesky picky pastry sweet,
Sweet-sour little heartbeat.

I think, you grow here
Little daffodil dear.
By the seals’ slow call,
A saltflower after all.

Lovely little tiny tousled head,
Breakfast served,
Of course in bed.
Aye, this our getaway
By the cove and Willy’s cave.
Two explorers bold and brave.

Stumble into the morning breeze,
Sun high on the tide and seas.
Let us roam now wild and free.

Past the old Watch House,
By the shore this little mouse.
She runs and skips,
Spray of salt on her lips.

“Tad, tad!
Look, that house is made of shells!”

“Hehe, aye little star.
Shall we go inside?”

Narrow lanes in a ribbon of blue,
Doorframes chipped to a kinder hue,
Fish-baskets dreaming by splintered beams,
Sun stitching gold through the harbour seams.
You point at a cat in a painted frame,
Give every gull a proper name,
Count boat ropes, one to ten,
Lose your place and start again.
Baker’s bell and a saffron bun,
Jam-sticky grin in the Cornish sun,
Cream like clouds on a granite scone,
You hum a tune I’ve always known.
Salt on your lashes, light in your laugh,
Sea writes our names in a foamy graph,
And even when the letters go,
The love stays bright below.

Sweet so sweet,
These feet know this street.
Know the brine and the lift,
Of a harbour shift,
Skiff-oars knocking a timbered rhyme,
Ticking the pulse of Polperro time.

And I know,
Know this little place is ours.
Lemon-kissed and pastry-pressed,
Tiny drum of a happy chest.
You bloom where the brine would drown,
Little daffodil in a tidal town,
By the seals’ slow call,
A saltflower after all.

Salt on the brow, salt on the bread,
Salt keeps the tears we thought we shed.
Sea-sweat mingles with the day’s warm light,
Turns every scrape into pearl and white.
What the wave takes, it leaves in kind,
A softer shore, a gentler mind.
Love grows roots in the stony brine,
Breaks through chalk with a quiet spine.

“Tad… listen. The sea is singing.”

Crab lines coiled in a pail of sky,
You squint one eye and you dare them try,
Pebbles pocketed, green, then grey,
We’ll count them home at the end of day.
Cliff-path thyme in a windy prayer,
Gorse sparks yellow in the salted air,
Hand in my hand at the harbour rail,
Watching a gig boat set her sail.
You say, “Tad, when the water goes,
Does it carry our footprints on its toes?”
I say, “Aye, but it keeps, you see,
The little you, safe here with me.”
For here where the world feels small and wide,
You flower straight through the turning tide;
And every tear I couldn’t hide
Turned sweet as kelp in the evening glide.

Sweet so sweet,
My feet knows this street.
Knows the brine and the bite,
And the soft-gold light,
Knows the song in the rigging’s twist,
Copper on the evening mist.

And I know,
Know this little place is ours
Shell-bright laughter, flour-dust hours.
You grew in salt, you grew in sun,
Two hearts knotted and tied as one.
By the seals’ slow call and the harbour wall,
You bloom, you bloom
A saltflower after all.

Sleepy mouse in a tide-rock bed,
Sea hums low while the day turns red.
“Five more minutes?”, aye, take ten.
Tomorrow we’ll roam these lanes again.

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.
