The Bell Ringing

An old Christmas carol written by Richard Smart who was rector of Plymtree and Vicar-Choral of Exeter Cathedral 1428 - 1466. This carol has the huge claim-to-fame of containing "Sir Christemas"; the very first written personification of Christmas in the English language!

A comedy song about a shazam in Kazakhstan

I'm plagiarising myself
Not the work of someone else
And I had a shazam in Kazakhstan
A shazam in Kazakhstan

How do you spell Kazakhstan
I want to tell you about my shazam
Shazam was an album by the Move
Beautiful daughter has a beautiful groove

I'm plagiarising myself
Not the work of someone else
And I had a shazam in Kazakhstan
A shazam in Kazakhstan

I'm not clued up about a shazam
I was told that I had one in Kazakhstan
My songs have been heard in Australia
But not at all in Venezuela

I'm plagiarising myself
Not the work of someone else
And I had a shazam in Kazakhstan
A shazam in Kazakhstan
A shazam in Kazakhstan  
A shazam in Kazakhstan
A shazam in Kazakhstan

A Shazam In Kazakhstan

A song about the squires of the Duke of Gloucester that were killed at the battle of Barnet in 1471

The Valiant Squires

One of the songs on the Cornish and Devonian album.

Captain Richard Scott

This song is based upon a 1920s science fiction story written by Francis Flagg

The machine man of Ardathia
From the future he appeared
The machine man of Ardathia
In this room he was here

A quite amazing story
And I tell you it wasn't a dream
I know you won't believe me
When I tell you what I have seen

The machine man of Ardathia
From the future he appeared
The machine man of Ardathia
In this room he was here

A blinding flash of light
Then the time traveller appeared
Inside a large cylinder
That was so crystal clear

Thirty thousand years from the future
From a tube leaped a purple ray
He told me not to be alarmed
And I tried not to be afraid

The machine man of Ardathia
From the future he appeared
The machine man of Ardathia
In this room he was here
In this room he was here

The Machine Man Of Ardathia

The Legendary Ten Seconds started off as the solo music project of Ian Churchward in 2004 during the time when he was the lead guitar player of The Morrisons who were featured on John Peel's Radio One show back in 1987. When Ian started recording as the Legendary Ten Seconds he was also playing guitar for a ceilidh band called Phoenix. In 2013 Lord Zarquon joined Ian's music project and since then the line up has gradually expanded and various guest musicians and vocalists have helped out in the recording studio. These have included the backing vocals of Camilla Joyce and the lead guitar of Rob Bright. The most recent musician to join the project is Jay Brown. The sounds of the Mellotron feature quite significantly in the recordings.

Most notably The Legendary Ten Seconds have recorded many critically acclaimed English folk rock albums which chronicle the Wars of the Roses and the life and times of Richard III in England during the late fifteenth century. The albums are available on Amazon and itunes and the band have donated money to a scoliosis charity from some of the income generated from the sale of their music. The CD versions of the albums are available via the Richard III Society in the UK.
