I’m covering a spooky song called ‘When Father Hanged the Children’ about a real life hangman who was given the task of hanging two children for stealing on ‘Yesterday, Perhaps: Songs of the Kitchen Cynics’ alongside other Kitchen Cynics covers by Alasdair Roberts, Josephine Foster, PG Six and Adrian Crowley, among others.
Kitchen Cynics’ Alan Davidson is a fine and prodigious songwriter, and it’s great to hear his songs reinterpreted in diverse ways.
