Ow'er 'igh Street, commissioned by Richard Harvey in celebration of the life of his Great Grandfather and citizen of Radstock (Somerset) - Samuel Lloyd Harvey (1858-1952), is a four-movement major work for brass band, employing selected folk songs from Somerset. Samuel significantly progressed the development of Radstock, through the exploration and reporting of local history, anthropology, geography and astronomy, while also being an author and composer.

Ow'er 'igh Street draws inspiration from Samuel's 1950 text of the same name, which tells of an aged and decrepit man's account of events in front of a Somerset inn. Infused with a series of folk tunes about young love, the composition is themed on the thrill and failings of British courtship.
