Having recently mentioned the local music scene in the Hastings area was lively, I thought today we'd have some music from one of those local bands. 

Friends from school days in Robertsbridge Tom Chaplin (born in Hastings) and Tim Rice-Oxley met other band members, including guitarist Dominic Scott at Tonbridge college. Scott left in 2001 and Keane became known as 'the band with no guitars', thanks to their heavily piano-based sound. 

This is actually a song, written by Tim, about Scott leaving the band and is a favourite track of mine. From their 'Hopes and Fears' 2004 debut album 'This is the Last Time' >

For more local nostalgia check out 'Sovereign Light Cafe' from the 2012 record 'Strangeland' - the song is about the seaside resort of Bexhill-on-Sea. The café itself is on the west end of the town's seafront, opposite the offshore Sovereign Lighthouse, where it gets its name. Link 2
