We (Martin Welham and son Tom) have been writing and recording together as The Story for the past few years, creating what's turned out to be loosely psychedelic acoustic music from the depths of Somerset, England.
Martin was part of UK psych-folk band Forest (myspace.com/forest70) who released 2 albums in 1969 and 1970 on the Harvest label. Recently Forest's eponymous debut album was re-issued by Radioactive Records on both Vinyl and CD.
In October 2005 The Story contributed one side of 'The Dawn Is Crowned' a vinyl LP with Whysp. Our debut full-length album 'Tale Spin' was released Feb 2006 on Sunbeam Records. Out second full-length album 'Arcane Rising' was released in download form in May 2007 and on CD in November 2007 also on the Sunbeam label. tHE wICKER mAN video (2008)
Thanks for the info, really amazed to hear it's a solo piece! If I ever can get it all figured out, I may be able to analyze it enough to tell what chords were used. Best wishes!
Thanks my brothas. Yet If I am running out of time and being chased on all Hallows eve on the road to ascension. Then while I was walkin by the wall of an English oak feeling a bit insane how am I to sit, shut my eyes and and feel safe??? All pun aside Enjoyed my stay upon your page while listening! Jam on and have a Great week ahead. CHOLEY
"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself." - William Blake
Hope you are both well and enjoying the turn of the seasons...
