New track – They died with their boots on
For this new track the Sea Cadets strap on their spurs and head to the Wild West (the Norfolk Lavender fields near Heacham to be exact...)
Fabulously, Tom Robinson s going to play it as part of his BBC Introducing mixtape - thanks Tom.
They Died with their boots on (Words/Music - The Sea Cadets)
Day follows Night, drought follows rain
This we expect again and again
start work at six and finish at dusk
sand dries our skin and our hands ever rough
The seeds that we plant in the dirt that we till
Will feed the villagers if we’ve got will
The wind on our backs turns the horses around
We can’t plough the fields in this arid baked ground
Take to the road when the moon is high
Finding our way with the stars in the sky
When will the sweat of our toil bring reward
We fight for enough let alone something more
We’re humble and ancient, our hair has long gone
We remember our youth in the face of our sons
No time to take pleasure in sun on our face
We’ll starve and be homeless if we lose this race
New Track – Castle Rising.
Continuing our Norfolk series of tracks, this is 'Castle Rising'
Castle Rising is a 12th Century Castle near Kings Lynn which was one owned by the mother of Edward III, Queen Isabella, following her part in the murder of her Edward I (Norfolk ways...)

New track – The Old North Walsham Line
We decided to cover a mighty tune by the Sheringham Springsteen himself, Allan Smethurst. Anyone casting a slight against the Singing Postman is liable to find themselves overstamped.

Billy in Bunbury
It would be fair to say that the Sea Cadets are more fond of cake than a salad.
This new track - 'Billy in Bunbury' uses a 1925 Advertising poem by Ruth Plumly Thompson for the Royal Baking Powder Company over the usual nautical post punk shenanigans. Narrated by Patti Cunningham, the song tells the story of Billy, who wont eat.
