Strangers on a shore is always being played by me, one of the all time great instrumentals.

Stranger on the Shore was originally called Jenny and was written for his daughter. When he heard that the BBC were seeking a theme tune for their new children's series Acker swiftly retitled it.
I have to agree one of the greatest instrumentals and spent 53 weeks in the top 30 earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records,
