   About Wine and Alchemy
Wine & Alchemy is an unique experience in World Music, providing a delicious blend of original and traditional world fusion music derived from a wide variety of genres including Celtic, Renaissance, French, Greek, Armenian, "Gypsy", Flamenco, Sephardic, Middle Eastern and others.

Turning of the Seasons (2008)
Turning of the Seasons is Wine & Alchemy's versatile debut recording.

Vintage 2008, Full bodied and with more than a hint of boldness, Turning of the Seasons is a blend of traditional and original music that pulls the listener into an epic journey of passion, adventure, mystery and betrayal that spans across a continent and an age.

Some songs in this unique compilation are influenced by or derived from the Celtic and English traditional folk genre, some the Mediterranean, Greece and the untamed "Gypsy" stylings of the eastern European continent, and still others find their roots in the French speaking world. With a blend of vocal styling, bouzouki, accordion, mandolin, penny whistle, violin, cello and a heavy dose of earthy percussion, this album toasts the new era of world music and is sure to be a gem in any music connoisseur's collection.

From Miserlou to Ravel's Bolero, from Matty Groves to Carmen, you will be pulled into a world unlike any other as Wine & Alchemy transforms sound into a mindscape of raw beauty.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace...
Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details): 
CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

As gospellers have said,
Beneath signalling skies,
On land dusty to tread,
A trough in a stable
Was the strawy first-bed
Of a divine baby -
The forgiving Godhead.

A season for new hope -
There then and here now;
The yuletide of goodwill -
There then and here now.

In respect of this chance,
Beneath bright or dark skies,
Faith's the star that we glance
Attending Christ's churches
And trying to enhance,
With singing and ritual,
Our God-loving stance.

A...

I strongly disagree with the labeling of the kid; more like "very talented young dude"

Just wanted you to know how much I love your music. Heard it for the first time last year and got to see you again this year at the ren fest in Holly. I have added two of your songs but can't get the one I like the most off your first album. Its called Sota and the zeplin song on the second album. Have a great last day at the festival
