about

This song was written by me as a protest against so-called traditional music "purists" banning instruments at their folk clubs and Festivals. It wasn't about Sidmouth and I wish I had made up a name rather than criticise Sidmouth which I've been told is truly magic. Not a good song, one of those impulse songs written when recording has already started. Sorry Sid.
I edited the song a little for copyright reasons.
