Influences
Oooh, I should think there are too many influences to mention them all here,we'll let you decide for now!.....
Rainbow Chasers were formed by the legendary Ashley Hutchings (of Fairport Convention) in the late summer of 2004. Very quickly they produced their first album 'Some Colours Fly' which was received very well and was consequently toured in the UK and in Italy. Their new album 'Fortune Never Sleeps' has been released on Talking Elephant Records.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

Great to see you in Darlington last night. I thought the show was brilliant. Great song writing and some really talented playing from all corners! Loved weather as well.
Hey guys and girls, It was great seeing you at the Cropredy pre-show. I've been playing the CD in the car since I got back. Fantastic stuff! Cheers, Chuck
