On Monday afternoon The Legendary Ten Seconds played a set of Ricardian songs at Waldon Point, St Luke’s Road South in Torquay. I sang and played the guitar, Elaine sang and Lord Zarquon played his Memotron keyboard. Elaine sang the lead vocals on King in the Car Park and Charm and Grace. In between each song I talked about Richard III and the Wars of the Roses. We started with the first song that we composed and recorded about Richard III called The House of York. The last song that we played was about the battle of Bosworth called White Surrey.
There are some very short video snippets of a few of the songs from this event on youtube – here’s one:

I introduced each song with some historical information. Someone in the audience asked me if it was true that the sons of Edward IV were murdered by Richard III and I said that it was my firm belief that they did not die during Richard’s eign. I showed the audience my copy of Philippa Langley’s Missing Princes book and told them that there was more than enough evidence in it to support my views about this.
