As Pitcairn’s residents reached nearly two hundred the isolation and reliance on natural resources became a problem due to a few years of bad weather and drought. A short experiment to try and resettle in Tahiti proved to be a disaster with many Pitcairners succumbing to fatal illnesses. Returning to Pitcairn didn’t solve the problem and a few years later Queen Victoria offered Norfolk Island as their new home. Norfolk language samples provide the melody for this piece. Simon and Aykho on drums and percussion provide the tribal element with Matt’s piano mirroring the vocal melody. The horns kick in with the melody before Phil Slater enjoys some space to improvise on Trumpet.
