A song for Tonbridge....

And on the subject of music about Tonbridge: did you know that there's an album just been released by an artist called Matthew Herbert called, simply, Tonbridge. I'm not sure what genre it is or how exactly to describe it but you can listen to it here (you may need Spotify if you haven't got it you may as well have it as it's all free) and decide for yourselves. I'm assuming, because, he's a Britist artist, that the track is about our Tonbridge and not the American one but it was a little odd to see Tonbridge along side the other tracks like Milan, Dublin, Palm Springs, Porto and Valencia. I can make out something about the river in the lyrics which could inspire anyone. Food for thought for the forthcoming Tonbridge Arts Festival whose theme is water and the river....

Tis quite good (avant-garde electronica). Like you say a bizarre inclusion of Tonbridge in the international line up. Especially as it appears he has no personal links with the town.
