You know, I've been a Fall fan almost as much as a Hatfields one and I'd never noticed the connection until you mentioned it! I'd love to think think of MES as a Canterbury head but something tells me (maybe unfairly from his perspective) that the likes of Hatfield and the North may have been a little, er, posh for him. I remember interviews at various times (pun intended) where he'd wax lyrical (well, as much as he ever would) about his musical muses (Krautrock, dub, rap artists come to mind) but I don't recall any reference to Messrs Sinclair, Wyatt or their ilk. Does anyone else out there know otherwise? I'm as curious as Seth to learn!

I don't think 'fitter' was ever used in a song title except in these 2 instances. I looked up the lyrics and weirdly... there is a Canterbury connection (!) "The Kevin Ayers scene South of France Plush velvet Aback! Aback! Aback! Aback! Levis Fridays Greek holidays Barratt heritance Barratt heritance Barratt heritance" I NEVER heard that first line, ever. And now I wanna believe the other line is 'Barrett heritance'.

Trouble is, there's a house builder in the UK called Barratt Homes to which I think MES may have been referring there. I much prefer your interpretation!

According to Julian, Mark E auditioned (unsuccessfully) for Henry Cow and whilst being a Cambridge band there was enough crossover between the Cambridge and Canterbury scenes to suggest that Seth may well be on the right track here.
