In the 1980s Lesley and her sister Astrid were heavily involved in Coast CND (Whitley Bay). This was a very scary time where the threat of nuclear annihilation felt very real. Peggy wrote this song as her court defence after being arrested in Westminster demonstrating against the siting of American Cruise missiles at Greenham Common in late 1983. Lesley was gleeful that Peggy had written this song for her defence and taught it to me, at the age of 10, so we could sing it together in the CND tent at the Great North Exhibition.

Because I couldn't decide what my favourite track was. It's a beautiful album and every track could be my favourite. However, I am a soppy git so I chose stowaway. Thank you Jon and keep up the good work. amediamonkey

The Teacups give me hope for the world. The music is so real, the arrangements so rich and resourceful, the performance so polished and yet always human and warm, that I have come to treasure this album as an old friend. Thank you, guys! Please keep going, we need this simple beauty back in our lives. pfranks
