After a frantic ascent of Y Gogarth (The Great Orme) in North Wales, Seth and Chris composed this tune in the 6th-century churchyard of St Tudno as the audience arrived for their evening concert. The composition developed over the course of fifty gigs during the duo’s 870-mile walk along the coast.
