According to Wikipedia, the Cacophony Society is "a randomly gathered network of free spirits united in the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society."
NB (for the edification, not to mention education, of pseudonymous "Guests"): CacophOny (Gr. phonos = sound).
All You Pretty Girls, first recorded by XTC, has been revived in an entirely contrasting arrangement by young Mr Moray, so much so that it's already entering "the tradition", especially down Walthamstow way. I find it a very jolly and quite excellent "original composition" and a worthy winner of that category.
