Words, music, voice, piano: Dai Griffiths

'Classical music doesn't go like this': a midpoint between Randy Newman and the New York Dolls. 'Get rid of David Bowie': easier said than done.

'Bad day at the office' is from around 2001, and had this programme note:
'Paying someone with a degree in marketing to redesign a brand and logo for British Steel didn’t do much good for the 2,800 tinplate workers sacked in South Wales during 2001. This song sees the world from the point of view of someone who has to make those ‘tough decisions’. To paraphrase Henri Matisse in 1908, one ideal purpose for art is to function like a good armchair for a tired businessman.'
Apologies for four seconds of incompetent silence before it starts.
