‘Uncle’ Rob Harding’s Christmas Cracker

‘Orwellian Rhapsody’ - a quite extraordinary song based on George Orwell’s book ‘1984’, and unlike anything else Rob has recorded to date. It has a ‘punk’ element to it, and includes a wicked and brilliant musical section, composed and played by Carl Chamberlain.
‘Miss Lucy Had A Baby’ - a highly infectious and witty song in the typical Rob Harding genre. Early mixes of this track review, Rob staying on the infectious 20`s and 30`s groove with boogie woogie piano thrown in along with a ukelele. Fascinating stuff.
Both titles were recorded at ‘A Room With A View’ studio under the guidance of producer and engineer, Steve Darrel-Smith.
