The Bar-Steward Sons' very own Sgt Pepper-styled concept album, all about their home tarn of Barnsley. The album cover features a veritable 'Who's Who' of celebrities from or connected with Barnsley. Featuring a significant amount of the band's own material to other people's tunes, and a few cover versions, including Barnsley metal legends Saxon's 'Strong Arm Of The Law', it marks a more comedic change in direction to the band's previous back-catalogue.

The album is also special as it marks Alan Doonican's vocal debut on 'No Fillin' In Me Pie', a song which highlights the dangers of going to the butty van and being ripped-off under the Trades Descriptions Act.

The band were also pleased to get by with a little help from their friends. The mighty Richard Kitson played the steel 'Barnsley Feightin' Geetar' and 'gob iron' on 'Wath On-Dearne Blues'; Barnsley Mick MC's on 'Tarnlife'; founder-member of Saxon, Graham Oliver, plays the Geetar-Hero solo on 'Strong Arm Of The Law'; and 'The Devil Went Darn To Barnsley' features duelling washboard solos from Satan Prince of Hell and local hero The Reverend Billy Casper!
Big shout-outs to all of them for their excellent contributions.
