Rough shod folk and songwriting from the Upper Calder Valley.
Six years is a long time to record an Album. There was even some times that I thought this might be a posthumous release... but here it is. 'Enjoy' might not be the right word to commend it to you with - but THANKS! Thanks for taking a copy off my hands...

about
Fiddle Wood smells of Wild Garlic and Bluebells in the springtime..
lyrics
Oh How sweetly
It comes in the late May spring.
The rain comes in
And it sits all the birds stil to sing
For the joy and the dreams of their coming broods.
In a Ryburn Valley
All in a kingdom to call my own
When I climb up to Cottonstones
Its like I'd sneaked and I peeped
Into a secret garden.
Up through Fiddle Wood
And the crucible valley floor
I'm listening to sound of a summer song
Singing 'I will love you, I will love you my whole life long.
So starts my Dream, my dream of you
Oh to be the one who is in your bedroom
And is unbuttoning you.
So starts my dream of you
Oh to be one who is your bedroom
And is unbuttoning you
I would love to do.
One look upon high
I see a coming crisis up there in the clouds
Oh this valley soon in full spate
Of a wind and it abated for nobody.
And all lemon scents
Becoming thunder in the blink of an eye
Drenching through
And surprising your summer whites
Oh run on home run on home
And we will shelter it through.
So starts my dream of you
To be the one who is your bedroom
And is unbuttoning you..........
