about

What a song. There’s always something on an Alun Parry album to make you skip back immediately and listen again. I first heard this tune (I think) downstairs in the old Magnet on Hardman Street at a refugee benefit gig around 2008. Seems too good to be true, but that’s Alun for you: consistently walking the walk. For this recording, I had one other name in mind and that was Billy Bragg. I just imagined Billy tackling this with a small amp and a Fender Tele’ back in the day and let rip. The words cut through everything, but the melody matches them here. Turn it up and let ‘em in. All of ‘em.
