About the rural tradition

An ongoing, largely futile struggle to make music that will somehow allow me to wake up in a grand Victorian mansion or a Samuel Palmer painting. Released a spectacularly unsuccessful vinyl lp in 2007. Which you can now download for free / pay what you what from here. Or contact me for a vinyl copy, which has two extra songs.

Shedding Feathers	Feb 11 2009 2:36 PM Happy melody♦making, lord poids. I hope you've found little pockets in the day to do so. May they be short, may they be sweet, may there be more... and more. xx
Flutterbye	Jan 26 2009 8:28 PM Here it is again, julio. (beware the telephone this time) ;-) Mmm, I came to repost this, and did not have headphones or speakers on, but could hear the music very faintly through the headphones on the floor. Very faerie like, and ghostly...so faint, and it took me minute to realize what I was hearing. x .. ..

TWILIGHT FOLK	Nov 1 2008 8:01 PM THE TWISTING FOLK PRESENT… THE OWL SERVICE LIVE AT ORANGE STREET MUSIC CLUB CANTERBURY NOVEMBER 8TH 8PM £5 admission Special double ticket available for £7.50, gains you entry to THE OWL SERVICE, and the ROBB JOHNSON gig on Friday 30th January 2009 Tel: 01227 760801 "...a tentative sitar drone and plucked minimalism pick their respective paths across a yawning chasm of O'Malleyesque fug" PlanB magazine "...combines the best parts of the British folk-rock boom with a sense of occult psychedelia that's never overbearing" Uncut magazine "Icy female vocals and crystalline electric guitars thread through sinister traditional tunes, recalling Trees' 1970 classic 'On the Shore' and Fairport Convention's 'Liege & Lief'" Stewart Lee, Sunday Times "British spooky/avant folksters whose muse is slightly more medieval than post-modern, but recalls Black Mountain and Lightning Dust as well as Vashti Bunyan and Steeleye Span" Time Out "...we highly recommend checking out the finest “traditional folk” album we’ve heard all year" Foxy Digitalis "...the result sounds like a lost album of '70s UK folk ...female singers who have that quality to provoke a world of a cultivated sensitivity ...all tracks flow beautifully from one perfect mood to the next" Psyche Homestead "...pure genius" DJ Magazine "A deeply intoxicating and alluring listening spectacle." Losing Today "A quiet, contemplative work of art that'll warm the cockles of any cold, cold heart" Foxy Digitalis "...wonderful and inventive but by no means contrived, ...

Flutterbye	Aug 11 2008 8:30 PM Your record came!!! I'd just assumed you'd forgotten and chose not to bother you more with it. Thank you so much], really! I can honestly say that's the first time a record has come in the post for us. Made my day. I will be honest...I've not played it, though the record player is ready and beggin' to use her voice, but we've chosen to wait, my mister and I, for an evening where we may just sit with coffee and tea and sketchbooks to truly savour the sounds, to not be bustling about while it plays. So we wait. errrr...impatiently...for such an evening. In the meantime, i see you've suddenly cranked out quite a few new tunes?! I'll give these a listen... A wonderful afternoon to you, Lord Poids, ;o) ♣ f l u t t e r b y e ♣
