Title: Suit of Lights
Post by S J Birkill on Today at 20:31
Intrigued by Pete's account (https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=App&action=display&num=1741557305&start=3#3) of his rediscovery of the song "Suit Of Lights", which he performed, for only the second time in public, at last week's gig in Woking?

Well, Pete has recorded a new demo of the song (complete with bonus unintentional ungual percussion accompaniment), which can now be heard here (https://www.peteatkin.com/play/i98.htm).

This "ain't too bad" at all Pete, in fact rather delightful I find. It certainly warrants reviving from the Footlights Tapes. Rather miraculous to be given a hearing after well over half a century. Something I'd have thought would stir some of us die-hards to offer their thoughts and appreciation of this latest little gem. THANK YOU Pete and Steve.

Terrific - a real pleasure to hear this.  I keep thinking subconsciously that it's the lead track from a new album (I wish!).  I'd be very interested to hear what anyone makes of lyrics that seem a bit impenetrable to me - but I love the line about the first flakes talking the others down - another example of Clive importing a military image into everyday life. Anyway thankyou Pete and Steve and all for this : class CJ/PA surely.  :)
