The CD features new songs written by either Band members or friends of the Band and two traditional songs arranged by Empty Vessels. The CD also includes two covers of songs performed by the Band that have become firm favourites with our supporters. The track is an acoustic upbeat blues that reminds us that the value of spending time on things we want to do and with people we want to be with. A re-arrangement of a traditional song recounting the tale of a young lady's night with a soldier and the ensuing birth of her child. A lively track heavily featuring the mandolin.
Strong harmonies feature in the chorus and through out the verses.
It brings together a number of Empty Vessel's strengths, harmony, creativity and accomplished musicianship. Written to celebrate a fine old tradition of the City of London. In order to ensure the strength of the beer with the square mile, each year the Mayor appoints Ale Connors. Legend has it that the test was to pour a sample of the beer onto a bench and to sit in it. If the ale was of the correct strength it would stick to the Connors leather breaches and all was well.
