This track ‘Jennifer Against The World’ by Birmingham indie band DINKY. The track is taken from our second studio album ‘Open Letters’.
Vocalist Gav wrote the song about his wife Jennifer and all the things that get under her skin. Unfortunately, the real Jennifer declined the bands invitation to feature in the video, so Gav took one for the team and got dolled up to play her! There is a link to the video below and there is also a short ‘making the video’ feature on the bands official YouTube channel that shows how the video came together, including Gav’s efforts to buy the right dress!!

South-London based Tim Eveleigh has been playing his own songs in public for 40 years and he hasn’t given up yet. As a middle-class, middle-aged acoustic singer-songwriter he is aware that he’s not alone but hopes that his combination of ‘words that move you and music to get you moving’ plus a smattering of silly stories between songs is enough to stand out from the crowd.
The songs Tim writes have one-word titles which are intended to be like concise crossword clues: they have two meanings and both relate to the song. In this case: Drones are an invention favoured by the kind of responsibility-avoiding warmongers that appear at times like these. And the harmonium is a drone instrument in the song.
Drones is taken from the album A Record out now on Bandcamp.
