It was scored for ukulele, so I sent a copy to George Hinchliffe from The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, and he very kindly recorded a home demo for me. George has given me permission to post the song on-line as a free download, and you'll find it at the link above. All this and an essay about Lobby's forgotten adventures in Britain's capital too! |

A great memory jolt for me: I grew up hearing this story from my Grandma and other oldies in my seaside dwelling family when in the 50's the Daily Mirror ran the Chalky White campaigns: the 'and I claim my five pounds' was much banded about in my youth. |

I don't think Mike has recorded it, but it's on the CD of Moses and the Ref Live at Willenhall on the recordings page of their website. "Grandma's drinking bottles of stout, with her stockings down and her dentures out..." Kitty |
