Description

“This was exactly what Otis was coming to love about Lincolnshire – its infinite capacity to surprise. Its very ordinariness hid the most remarkable secrets; you only needed to know where to look.” 

Witham ‘n’ Blues follows Professor Otis Spanner, an expert in music and culture from the University of Toscahonee, Alabama, who has somehow managed to acquire a research grant to study the little-known English county of Lincolnshire. As he explores the curious customs and musical mysteries hidden in the depths of the Lincolnshire countryside, Otis discovers some remarkable secrets that well and truly put Lincolnshire on the map. 

Humour runs riot in this delightful exploration of the music, history and other-worldly quirks of England’s second largest county. Artfully mixing elements of truth with a host of fictional (and not so fictional) characters, Witham ‘n’ Blues is a must read for lovers of music, comedy and Lincolnshire alike.

“This was exactly what Otis was coming to love about Lincolnshire – its infinite capacity to surprise. Its very ordinariness hid the most remarkable secrets; you only needed to know where to look.”

“A hugely inventive romp through the cultural heritage of Brassica Land. Murphy's 'Witham 'n' Blues' is a delightful montage of hilarious set-pieces and witty word-play. (Warning: Can cause apundicitis if read too quickly).”
