about

Roobarb - named after the 1970s cartoon character - was written by James O’Grady. The first half of the tune became a frequently-heard snippet during soundchecks for the band Sin é in the late 90s, and Mike persuaded him to write the second half of the tune while he was staying at his house down in Devon for a band rehearsal.

Mike had long wanted to write a tune to complement it, and over a decade later during a tour with my band, he eventually completed it, naturally calling it Custard, while waiting to play at the Kirkgate in Cockermouth.
