The live shows have been going from strength to strength. As the band add more works from the repertoire into the live set, they are being 'committed to tape' here in at The Lodge studio. Sounding better than ever; keeping the best aspects of the original music whilst injecting a new dimension. Not only has technology has moved on but also this 21st Century line up includes a new generation of musicians, people with a lot to give.

The Arise & Shine Project

People who go to our shows, particularly those new to the band are making it clear that they want recordings of the contemporary lineup playing the music they have just witnessed. Hence the "Arise & Shine" project.

The band have been excited about getting in the studio and reworking these pieces, giving them a fresh new lease of life without losing what many of us fell ?in love? with in the originals all those years ago. For those who will always prefer the originals, then of course they still have them.

Track listing:

Childe Roland To The Dark Tower Came 2010 revision premiered at Town Hall, Birmingham in 2010

The Mirror Of Love Based on Robert John Godfrey's original composition of thirty five years ago, The Lovers. This new and extended visualisation of his original youthful "Rachmaninoveske" composition looks back at young and painful love as RJG puts it, "through the other end of the telescope".

Something Wicked This Way Comes (SWTWC) – All the atmosphere of the original but definitely different.  Be ready for some surprises.
