I Was A Mole Who Lived In A Hole But Not Any More

Over 80 dead moles strung along the top line of barbed wire fencing near the village of Tarnbrook.

The Southlanders were a Jamaican / British vocal group formed in 1950 by Edric Connor and Vernon Nesbeth. Whilst their biggest commercial hit was 1958's cover version of "Alone", which sold over one million copies; the song they are most identified with is "I am a Mole and I Live in a Hole" (also known as "Mole", "The Mole" and "The Mole in a Hole"). The unforgettable title line from the song was spoken by the group's bass voice Harry Wilmot, father of Gary Wilmot. Harry Wilmot died in 1961, when his son was six years old.
