Regular readers of D+CFilm’s sister site PRSD will be familiar with Nixon And The Burn and their rather fantastic angular rock.

Unfortunately, the band is no more (blub!), but fear not, viewers. We recently told you about Adam moving onto greener pastures as the programme controller of VITV and we also have an email from Steve, who’s currently playing in a combo called The Weaver Twins.

They’ve been cooped up in a Stoke Gabriel barn making their album and are ready to start gigging in earnest next year.

The reason we’re telling you all this, is because the band have filmed a rather sweet little video to accompany their ditty, Little Man Case. It features a horse-headed man wondering around Paignton. Well, obviously.

Steve told D+CFilm: “We filmed the thing on Paignton Green without a plan or rehearsal. The original idea was that we were gonna pixellate out the faces of all the holiday makers. We also suspected we might get some unfriendly reactions as children were bound to get scared or, at the very least, feel
slightly uncomfortable.

“However, after a few shots, we noticed that the public became very willing to get involved.

“The video took about seven hours to edit and was on YouTube within twelve hours of it being filmed.

“It was a shame to lose some of the more surreal, longer shots. The Paignton Regatta steward actually did tell Mr Horse to get on all fours! And the football team dressed in tutus were a naturally-occuring phenomenon of timing.

“Until the vision of the horse-monk was imposed onto them, they
probably thought they were the wackiest people on the green. Save it for Comic Relief, lads!”
