On the Tipplers Tales version, please? This I'm sure is an easy one for those who know but I can't make up my mind. Is it Swarb or is it the younger Simon influenced by Swarb?

Sounds like young Simon to me, you can hear Swarb singing in the chorus.  I do like this version, especially Swarbs fiddley bits in the middle, though it does seem strange to hear it without the enlongated last note Grin

Yeah, it's Simon. I'd like to hear them do it on this year's Wintour - an incentive for Simon to learn the words!  Grin Wink

Sadly I am old enough to remember the Tipplers Tales tour and am certain it was Simon.
