The final episode... for now at least! Episode 9 brings into focus some of Poppyland's musical history from step dancing fisherman to the sex pistols! An interview with local artist Fiona Davies about her infamous fishing and step dancing family. An interview with Amanda West of Northrepps about gigs at the West Runton Pavillion.

The songs included in this final show are 'The Last Step Dancer', a song inspired by a conversation with Fiona. 'Templewood' a song using a poem written by Joanna Emmons about her memories with her grandmother in Northrepps. And finally When The Skies Are Weeping, a poem by the Victorian 'Ploughman Poet' Frederick Stibbons.

All the songs are now available to buy as a digital download and also as a CD with a beautiful 32 page accompanying book containing all the lyrics and lots of photos and images and bits of history. All availble from my https://bertiebow.bandcamp.com/

Or if you happen to be in Cromer then you can buy a copy of the book/CD album from Jarrolds. It will contain a code so you can get a digital version too.

Through continued research of my great great aunt Kit's journals I uncover new stories and compose new songs.

Another branch of research has lead me to talk to the current residents of Poppyland and share their stories and memories.

If you have a story to share with me then please get in touch via my website or social media @bertiebow.
