Long Hot Summer - The Style Council
For me itâs a particular set of memories from 2001. Weâd all started driving, so spent our days tearing the lanes of West Wales to and from the beach every day blasting this album on our crappy stereos.
Aah- you win!
Instant summer
Think I said before that when I was growing up, I did a lot of course fishing. Used to go with Dad and the season starts on June15th. We used to go to our club lake about 11pm and prepare the swim, rake, groundbait etc. Wait until 4am when it was light, start fishing and hopefully catch a load of tench.
Weâd watch the sun come up over the mist on he water, they were magical days.
One year a guy on the opposite side of the lake had a radio (which wasnât allowed) About 30 mins before it was light, this song came on and my Dad said, âhe shouldnât have that radio but I really like this songâ.
Itâs aways reminded me of Dad and summer days fishing ever since.
Inextricably linked to my first Ironman in the furnace of Frankfurt, July 2010.

Gone for the longer version (again) as I love the way it builds slowly
Not a huge fan of the Dream Academy original from where the sample comes
Sorry, but it is so grey outside, Iâll going to add a few more.
(As the Summer canât come soon enough.)
