about
Starzecs is a cobblers in Keynsham run by a post-war immigrant Polish family since the late sixties.
lyrics
When I first came over here from Poland
This town was as a paradise to me
The smell of chocolate was a joy to a small ten year-old boy
Spending hours gazing at that factory
Now that factory has gone the way of history
And in the faded photograph on my wall
Oh so much has changed, only my cobblers still remains
In the same place we have been since the war
I used to sit on the old Two Counties Stone with
One foot in Gloucestershire, one in Somerset
Shield my daughter from the cold, in this place that I call home
Proud to call myself an immigrant
The Dapps Hill flood it tried to sweep us off the High Street
But my family we didn’t down our tools
Here at fifty-one B, we have left our legacy
Like Horace Batchelor and his football pools
I want my daughter and granddaughter to grow up here
To be part of a strong community
To learn from our mistakes, fight the serpents and the snakes
As Saint Keyne did in the fifth century
Supermarkets, fast-food restaurants, café lattes
Meant they tore the old ironmongers down
Chain after chain, now every high street looks the same
And they’re stealing the heart of the town
But when times are tough and I feel like I’m broken
And hardship leaves me angry, sick and scared
I look over at you and at the soles of my shoes
And know there’s nothing that can’t be fixed or repaired
We only discovered this great band from Boise, Idaho this year and have spent the last few months gleefully catching up on all their releases. You would be well advised to do the same. My Little Owl Records
Kirsty headlined our very first My Little Owl Presents... gig in Sheffield. She is breathtakingly talented and featured on the soundtrack of Danny Boyle's film Trance. My Little Owl Records
Helen is headlining our next My Little Owl presents... gig in Sheffield on November 16th 2013. She plays lovely, quirky, slightly jazzy, sometimes a bit folky pop songs. My Little Owl Records
This might be my favorite thing Daniel has ever recorded. I shared the story part with my children, who also absolutely loved it. The songs are great too. alex79uk
Terry Venemous is releasing new music every 3 weeks this year. His latest EP is sumptuous art pop with a wry sense of detachment.
