Comments and Reviews

Juke Jules SUBS 14th Oct 2021		I'd forgotten the story of George's Son. Let's hear it
Fokeman ● 9th Oct 2021		One of these songs was written by Thomas Hardy. Track A1 was also inspired by part of a Thomas Hardy novel. George was Gabriel Oak's sheepdog in "Far From The Madding Crowd" and he had a young sheepdog son who made the great mistake of taking the whole flock of Gabriel Oak's sheep off the edge of a cliff. He was very efficient and took the whole damned lot, every last sheep off the cliff before Oak managed to stop him. Another tale of monumental tragedy.
Fokeman ● 8th Oct 2021		I see your cover was signed by John Kirkpatrick! The Great John Kirkpatrick!
Juke Jules SUBS 2nd Feb 2014		Very 'ECM' feel to the front image on this Topic release
