Manorbier

Hi all, well here I am in Lamphey near Tenby for a short break and its very close to Manorbier. Had to pay a visit to the beach and castle and have a listen to the music but does anyone know why this piece of music is so called?
Many thanks.

The castle is called Manorbier.

It's a lovely beach and the sea views when you walk up the hillside footpath are terrific. I have warm memories of the place.

I went a week or two ago, it's gorgeous. It's a pity that the weather changed for the worse when I was at the beach! Trying to find a way of uploading a video from my phone to the computer but files aren't turning up when I plug it in, grrr...

Yes it is a beautiful place but I wondered why the band called it that. Was it a childhood destination or something.

Wire has a flat in Tenby and loves going to Manorbier apparently. I don't remember hearing anything deeper than that about it.
And yes, it is a lovely place. Even though at least two of the beaches James has given as favourites over the years beat it for me personally (Southerndown and Pwllgwaelod).

Edit: Of course Wire mentioned that Gerald of Wales was born in Manorbier, but that was showing off his education I think. I doubt a medieval chronicler really inspired/influenced the track.

Ahh, thank you for the info. Makes sense. Tenby is beautiful too.

Every time this track is mentioned it brings to mind Traveller's Japanese App's seminal 'Man Or Beer?'
