The solos are great and your vocals dark and moody, creating an intense, menacing atmosphere. Very original, most excellent.
On a side note - I've been to Scarborough, Whitby and Skegness, a lovely part of England. Loved Whitby, supposedly where Dracula first set foot in England!! Many a family Butlins holiday in Skegness back in the 1960's....different times.
Thanks Chay, productions like this get us thinking of alternative takes and ideas.

Thanks, K-Dub Ya! As I wrote in the blurb, the original idea for the lyrics just began as a joke, which I never expected to do anything with, but I'm really pleased that the idea evolved.
Yes, it really was a different time in the 60s and the transistor revolution! My grandmother used to live in a house on the sea wall just south of Butlins, though originally there was no sea wall there, just dunes and beach. A great uncle began as a partner of Billy Butlin, but didn't think the holiday camp idea would work! laugh From 67-69 I had a summer job on the Skegness fairground while I was at art school and I met my first true love there in 69 (I was 18) and even now I still recall her birthday! Very free times and lots of hitch-hiking to concerts, including the 69 Bath Blues Festival which evolved into today's Glastonbury.
