Wow listen to John working his magic, beautiful original interpretation, this boy is good, amazing bass contribution from Davy Cowan, who is a revered songwriter in his won right, but such a great friend and he has 1978 all over him, he is playing plectrum bass as he doesn't like the way bassists use their fingers, prefers the Alec, more a SLF boy than a Henry King Thumb I suppose, Dave's lovely son Sam on kit, only 18 yo and soaking up the medicine, Sam's fave drummer is our old pal Dave Ruffy from Ruts and Aztec Camera/Kirsty McColl fame, Dave spent a whole afternoon with Sam when he was only 15 giving him tips and trick, diamond geezer is Mr Ruffy
Dead proud of this higher conscious (not pious nor pompous) loving celestial message xxx
lyrics
Great star of fraternity
Our dreams are dreams of light
Our fields are burning bright
We are, from the great star
We are we are we are
Frattern star
Earthwalk is worthwhile phase
Though we gotta stay awake we are
We are, from the great star
We are we are we are
Frattern star
There are healers, dreamers
Listeners, observers
From the great star
They call fraternity
We are we are we are
Frattern star
Our dreams are dreams of light
Our fields are burning bright
We are, from the great star
We are we are we are
Frattern star

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce

What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
