The Missing Keys Sometimes, a whisper is more effective than a shout. Devon duo The Missing Keys recently came up with The Tide, a laidback, jazzy piano and vocal tune with a poignant climate change message for all the King Cnuts out there (Trump, Putin, Johnson... yep, all Cnuts).

Over Dom Garnett's jazzy piano chords, singer Ed Tresloggett smoulderingly notes that, for all of us, "The tide's coming in". So, do we want to drown or actually do something? And is that a touch of The Blue Niles in there somewhere? The song's message is nicely backed up by a simple but effective black and white video: the chaps stroll down to the beach, plug their kit in and start playing. They gradually become submerged as the tide comes in but they play on, regardless, just like us all. Soon they will have disappeared altogether. Don't be a Cnut, people!
