Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
The downside of an East African beach break…Written specifically and with deep feeling - if any one says jambo or akuna matata to me again I won’t be held responsible for my actions.
Lyrics
E C#m A7 B A I took my love out for a walk on a beach in paradise E C#m G A7 The soft white sand oozing up between our toes E C#m A7 C Sunlight glinting off the breakers at the reef edge E F#m C#m B B7 Blue sky above, turquoise sea below We went in search of a little peace and tranquillity To feel the cool breeze ‘cross the crystal clear lagoon Not a sound but for the rustle in the palm trees E C#m B B7 What could possibly intrude.. E A B E Jambo papa England welcome to our shores E A B Ab B B7 If we’re nice to moma Vietnam she’ll surely promote us more E A B E You know we love you English better than the rest E A B Ab B B7 We love your queen elizabeth and the notes that with her image are blessed We walked for miles along the beach to Congo River, though we’d Get away from the crowds by the hotel No a hope, we could have walked forever They’d all be waiting there as well Poli Poli papa England please come see and my shop It very inexpensive please come see what I got I like your fancy T shirt, I like your hat and shoes Perhaps you’ll hand them over, when you go home they’ll be no use You are so very lucky for us here life is rough For you there are no worries – akuna matata – no that’s enough! Jambo papa England ––hi we’re fine thanks.- poli poli - we just want to walk, OK? Caribou to Kenya – yeh thanks but.. Akuna matata go away will you.. .oh just bugger off
