Originally performed by Mike Hayward in September 2020, Cowboy Breakfast is the story of a John Wayne superfan living alone in the Valleys.
He's looking forward to Saturday, when he'll see his son and make him his famed Cowboy Breakfast. When he gets the text ("I d'love a text") to say his son isn't coming, George descends into his imaginary Wild Western World.
And he's caught someone there, and that man needs hanging.
