🎸More Than Words – Stage 48: Devon Knows 🎸
From solo Pixies gigs (middle‑aged edition) to golf rounds improved by sambuca, then straight into Devon — where castles brood, ghosts commute, and folklore behaves like it’s on a zero‑hours contract.
Featuring:
🎧 Pixies at 40 — audience: mortgages, back pain; Debaser still unhinged
🍾 Sambuca golf — marginal gains via Italian firewater
⛪ Cheriton Bishop — bishops, Celtic landowners, and a church judging your cushions
🏰 Castle Drogo — Britain’s last castle, built entirely in “brooding granite cosplay”
👻 Mary Whiddon — murdered bride, haunted house, and bad wedding‑day vibes
🕊️ Oxenham white bird — a supernatural death‑omen with a very selective client list
🚌 Okehampton Castle — Norman power flex, Tudor downfall, bone‑coach ghost
🌉 Meldon Viaduct — Victorian ironwork doing full dramatic‑arch energy
❄️ Sourton ice works — Victorian attempt to monetise frost
🥄 Lifton — Alfred the Great, rivers, and the world’s most famous rice pudding
It’s travel with sambuca‑powered golf, medieval melodrama, Victorian frost‑entrepreneurs, bone‑coach ghosts, death‑omen birds, and a castle that thinks it’s in Game of Thrones. Equal parts historic, eccentric, and gloriously Devonian.
