The song 'English Urban Garden', as quoted by 'Mysha' above, was actually written by Alan Twelvetree of Peterborough. Alan was one of the founders of P'boro Folk Club.

I remember one particularly memorable Sunday night (club night) when Alan arrived at the club in a state of great excitement because his song had been sung on the telly that evening by 'Pinky & Perky'.

For those not old enough to remember P&P, they were two bizzare puppet pigs who sang in high, falsetto voices (I kid you not!).
