    "Few of us can see the world from the planets AND in its atoms; it demands a perspective that can see both the detail and the breadth, see both the history and the present, see both the reality of the world and also its supernatural echoes around us. ...Duir! are the only artists I can think of who do it so well in music and words."
    Mike Wistow

    A tight, compact blast of glam-folk with post-punk attitude. DROME reveals a topsy-turvy journey through Lincolnshire tradition, told through spoken word and song and where fact and fantasy become embroiled in time-shifting theatre.
    Put aside the disquiet of the present and allow yourself to be briefly distracted and indulge with them on a journey through a timeless landscape where fact and fantasy become intrinsically linked. Through their endeavours DUIR have, in effect, sought to create their own, timeless DROME.

about

Following an Act of Parliament, a plan to widen and improve the River Witham began in 1814. Work started near Southrey, where a bend in the river was straightened out. The imported workforce included up to 900 Navvies, or Bankers as they were locally known. However, an increase in the price of bread led to a two-day riot which started in the Plough Inn, on the west bank of the river Witham.

lyrics

We’re straightening; the river boys - down south of Bardney way
We dig the cut; of the Witham Lord – south-west at wet Southrey
900 strong, we build the banks we build the cut so high
To buy the bread we’ll rise my friend we’ll drink yon fenland dry.

For kicking off. And shouting out. And fighting for our rights.
For rioting in Bardney town - we all must pay the price.

You defend; the western banks boys - and we will take The Plough
And Benton’s ale; we’ll sup and slurp – we’ll curse, we’ll shout, we’ll row
Roll out the barrels into the street and barricade them high
We’re bankers and we’re navvies, boys we’ll drink The Angel dry.

For kicking off and shouting out and fighting for our rights
For rioting in Bardney town, we all must pay the price.

900 voices must be heard, 900 voices strong
When Gautby reads the riot act - prison won’t be long.

For kicking off and shouting out and fighting for our rights
For rioting in Bardney town, we all must pay the price.
