I know you are thinking what I am thinking – what on earth? Nang Nang Nang? Well, this is basically English acoustic protest folk acoustic music. The j-card was actually laminated as well. I am hoping some of the odd song titles and word spelling make more sense in Rushden, England? If you like this type of music, this is a well recorded and written example of it. Griff takes some risks with his vocals and guitar playing that changes things up a bit – think of this as sounding a bit like acoustic Tribe of Dan/Dan Donovan music because of the experimentation. “Nang” is apparently an Australian slang word for laughing gas it seems – not sure if that is what is referenced here. Cool cover art as well, but no indication who the mysterious Griff is.

Update: I found out who Griff is, and that he had other tapes as well.
