We are doing a live ‘premiere’ of our brand new video for the single we are releasing on 19th March – Simon’s Nick. This is the first track on the forthcoming album, Bungaroosh, which will be released on 19th April.
Simon’s Nick – an original telling of the legend of Simon who was shown by fairies where to mine for copper on the Old Man of Coniston (one of the highest fells in the Lake District, UK) on the understanding he told no-one about the fairies.
We were inspired to write this song after a visit to Arnside and a suggestion written in our book by an audience member but shot this video on Butt’s Brow near our home in East Sussex as we live nowhere near Furness Fells!
With huge thanks to our lovely fairies Darcy and Margot (and their mum Laura).
This is the first single from the album Bungaroosh by Milton Hide. The first opportunity to buy physical copies of the album on CD will be at Hailsham Pavilion on Saturday 19th April. Tickets to the event can be bought online from hailshampavilion.co.uk. The album will be available to buy online as CD from Milton Hide’s website (miltonhide.com) or in digital form from Bandcamp.
Bungaroosh, the album, is a great mix of material from this eclectic duo. Varied in both style and subject, the songs range from traditional style folk ballads to Americana, 50s ragtime to northern soul, stomping folk rock to etherial prog. The term Bungaroosh comes from the building trade, referring to walls that were put up cheaply and quickly in the Regency period, mainly in the Brighton and Hove area. These walls were filled with a variety of local, plentiful materials including flint, chalk, pebbles and sand held together with a lime mortar then rendered to give a smooth finish.
