Eight.

It’s been a rather tumultuous year. I feel like I’m running out of useful things to say in these posts, but it also feels important to still write them. Like last year’s, there hasn’t been a lot of new music for me to recommend, but then just this morning, whilst listening to Steve Lamacq’s latest show, I heard the Lancashire Hotpots’ Christmas single for the first time.

Perfect. A mixture of St. Helens, childhood folk memories, and lyrics that seem to sum things up pretty darn well.
