The man behind one of Swansea's most famous ever cult songs has been remembered fondly by his daughter who has paid a heartfelt tribute to her dad after he sadly lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. Paul Allen is best known in the city for his hilarious The Mosh Song, known and referred to by many as simply 'Oi Mush'.
Featuring more than two dozen uses of the f-word, and delivered with the thickest of Jack accents, the song, despite coming out during the fledgling years of the internet, made its way across the globe, largely through word of mouth, and in 2019, we reported how, 20 years on, it had managed to rack up more than a million hits on YouTube.

Mr Allen sadly passed away at home in Mount Pleasant, surrounded by his family on Monday, October 31, aged 66. He had been battling pancreatic cancer, having been diagnosed at the beginning of August.
