Poppyland Songs Episode 3: The Village of Millionaires

We hear all about the fascinating goings on in Overstrand at the turn of the century. A Great British Gatsby perhaps?! Keith Hobday from The Belfry Centre for Music and Art fills us in on the many characters who decided to move to Poppyland and build giant houses here! Songs are inspired by life on a cliff edge here in North Norfolk.

 

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.
