Peter says ‘It’s a story of public kindness, an intervention of which the rescued weren’t aware they needed. But they did. Based on a true story of a bus that was diverted from its course between Hartlepool and Middlesbrough by a masked robber in the 1950’s. The robber decided they looked sad and needed saving from their dull lives in post war, north-east England. She diverted the bus to Whitby so they could have a day at the seaside’. When asked why she did it, she said ‘I did it for love’. Written and recorded in Nottingham at Daisyland Studios with the help of the Robin Hood String Orchestra.
Although I do agree I'd prefer more focus on the IRS era, this is a really solid collection of covers that delivers some unique takes. Totally inspired me to go back and listen to the original albums as well. Jean-Paul DuQuette
