Topical Songs

For every gig we write and perform a topical song about something in the news that week. From Tariffs to the Post Office Scandal, Panda Diplomacy to the Death of a Pope and the travails of Prince Andrew, we cover them all with humour and harmony (hopefully).

Each one is recorded and posted here shortly after completion – most recent at the top!
