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
A trekkers blues written as a 'party piece' after a trek in Mustang, Nepal. A lodge in Jomson said Jimmy Hendrix stayed there.... but this Red House is in Kagbeni! Another track offof 'Sleeping Dogs'. There's a youtube video to go with it at http://youtu.be/jsgEtdGLKeA
Lyrics
There’s a red house in Kagbeni where all the trekkers stay Yes there’s a red house in Kagbeni where all the more discriminating trekkers stay The way that Pema makes you welcome will surely brighten up your day Well you may think it’s pretty basic there may be some other features you’d like to see Well you may think it’s pretty basic there may be lots of other features you’d like to see But when to get back down from Jharkot you’ll think it the height of luxury. Well you’ll always get a shower, be it lukewarm, cold or hot You know you’ll always get a shower, be it lukewarm, cold or hot It’s all run by solar power so just be thankful for what you’ve got She’s got a Buddha in her chapel, 500 years three metres tall She’s got a Buddha in her chapel, 500 years old three metres tall When you hear that pooja drumming, just treat it as your breakfast call Morning sunlight on Nilgiri, sparkling white against the blue Morning sunlight on Nilgiri, sparkling white against the blue Tells you all’s well in the heavens, so all bound to go right for you So if you’re heading up to Mustang, looking for a place to call your own Yes if you’re heading up to Mustang, looking for a place to call your albeit temporary second home Head for that Red House in Kagbeni, guaranteed to ease your weary bones Head for that Red House in Kagbeni, guaranteed to ease your weary bones
