A four-and-a-bit minute masterpiece from the North West of England marks the 16th day of the #indieadvent24. Bill Ryder Jones dropped this little cracker of a tune back in the summer and it's stayed on my most played list for the rest of this year.
Fans of The Coral will approve of his solo work and should take the time to listen to the album West Kirby County Primary. Two To Birkenhead deserves a larger audience and is the album's highlight track. If you like what you hear then you can expect more of the same sound on Catharine and Huskisson and Wild Roses.
Never has a song made me want to go to Birkenhead before. And I'd argue this will never happen again in the history of music. So, while I dream of getting on an Arriva bus in Merseyside and singing to the driver I'd like two singles to Birkenhead please (who says I don't dream big?) I'll leave you all with my gift to you on this the 16th day of the advent of indie music. Here's the whirringly addictive Bill Ryder Jones and Two To Birkenhead. Happy listening!
