The husband and wife duo from Cardiff have captured moods by patterns of sound and words. Totally influenced by the Incredible String Band, the album offers whimsical, acoustic acid folk, with weird, disjointed hippie lyrics about a fantasy world of mythological beings such as fairies, elves and dragons. It’s a charming period piece.Personnel

One of the best acid-folk LPs from the British Isles, very ISB -influenced but more fragile in sound. Beautiful.

Graham and Anne were good friends of mine, we were all resident artists at a folk club in South Wales, in Newport. It was run by Dublin Moran.Iwas in a jugband called Moby Jug. The Album is great, so were Graham and Anne, we all used to go to Cambridge Folk Festival, they played on main stage once. Lost touch with them now, I'm still gigging 40 yrs on in a RnB band called Blues Train, still play their Album sometimes, great memories, cheers Reg,www.myspace.com/bluestrainbuxton
