Them duke boxes killed community barn dances dinnum. What a sad loss. This be all about the time when things changes down on the border of Somerset and Devon.
lyrics
Once there was a pig farmers barn on the border of Somerset and Devon.When the days work were done, when the sun went down were the place that the locals came together. Though I was only young I remember everyone, Drank and sang till the early morn. Yes we'll all dance together on that barn on Sampford Moor, yes we'll all dance together the Sampford Peverell Pig Farmers Polka. You can get yerself some lessons in a church hall in the levels, you can learn to dance the foxtrot. Or if its more of your thing you can learn to do the swing in a hotel in Horton Cross. But the only dance for me, I'm sure you will agree keeps me up till the early morn.

Incredible band with dynamic writing, varied instrumentation and a distinctive sound while keeping a punk backbone. The great storytelling is a perfect bonus. I'm always ready for more. Andrew Palmer

An album that originally I didn't take a liking to; until I heard the lyrics. It slowly has grown on me to the point where I have ordered the vinyl. Lovely way to remember those 100 years ago. Martin Flaherty
