We have just had a really nice holiday in Wales. It was great to visit several medieval castles which included Stokesay, Castell-Dolfordwyn, Powis, Aberwystreth, Oswestry, Chirk and Ludlow. The castle of Chirk was especially interesting and I discovered that some of the previous owners included Roger Mortimer, Richard III and Sir William Stanley of whom I have recorded songs such as this one:- https://open.spotify.com/track/59xWVt7VBReLpiNMl8pRMc

On Monday afternoon The Legendary Ten Seconds played a set of Ricardian songs at Waldon Point, St Luke’s Road South in Torquay. I sang and played the guitar, Elaine sang and Lord Zarquon played his Memotron keyboard. Elaine sang the lead vocals on King in the Car Park and Charm and Grace. In between each song I talked about Richard III and the Wars of the Roses. We started with the first song that we composed and recorded about Richard III called The House of York. The last song that we played was about the battle of Bosworth called White Surrey.
