BACK STORIES

A Tax On Health is a song on the newly released Album, 'Dodgy Ditties'. The story the song tells is of a common experience for those who try to access our wonderful National Health Service in the Community.


From the 2003 Album 'Changing Tracks'
HAND OF GLORY
 Originally written by Tony Morris as a short story for an after-dinner reading at an event on Halloween in a Pub in a village near York, Tony  later turned it into a lyre song and recorded it on the 2003 Album ‘Changing Tracks’. The first time it was  performed live in Whitby he was told that the Hand in the Museum was the one involved in the incident at the Bowes Moor Inn which forms the background for the song. He did not previously know. Spooky!
