Well I discovered it a few years ago via a piece in a magazine ( maybe Faith or Keep On?) by @jolyon I think, one of those ‘make us a tape’ articles, think I checked out all the tracks mentioned that i’d never heard & I immediately liked it.

On a camping holiday in a wet Somerset this week. Crossed the border into Devon by surprise as was heading to Dorset. The song Feels like Heaven came to mind so got the kids to find it on spotify. Turns out it’s by the Fiction Factory and not the Associates as I’d thought. Sang the words Feels like Devon as we drove along cos that’s what you do on holiday.
