Composer's Note:
The Yellow Cake Revue is a sequence of cabaret style numbers, first performed at the St. Magnus Festival, Orkney, by Eleanor Bron, with the composer at the piano, in June 1980.
It takes its name from the popular term for refined uranium ore, and concerns the threat of the proposed uranium mining to the economy and ecology of the Orkney Islands which islanders are determined to fight, down to the last person.
Stromness, the second largest town in Orkney (pop. 1,500) would be two miles from the uranium mine's core, and the centre most threatened by pollution etc. Yesnaby is the nearby clifftop beauty spot under whose soil the uranium is known to lie. Wharbeth beach is the most popular beach in summer for Stromnessians. The "Douneray dragon" refers to British Nuclear Fuels' establishment at Dounreay, opposite Orkney on the Scottish mainland coast.
