WINTER JOURNEY from SWEET SOLACE by Huw Parsons and Friends

WINTER JOURNEY: Words and Voice – Huw. Guitars, Electronic Effects, Bass and Percussion – David Cooper Orton.
Here's a piece that David and I finally finished in July 2018, after a few unsatisfactory attempts at recording it. It's one of our most ambitious to date, with David playing all the many instruments in something that gathers pace throughout, an idea inspired by 'Led Zeppelin's' song 'Stairway to Heaven.'

Huw Parsons was born in 1954, grew up in Llyswen, near Hay on Wye, and educated at Brecon Boys’ Grammar School and Chelsea College of Art.

He feels neither wholly English nor particularly Welsh, with his life’s diversity a social impostor and a cultural chameleon.

His influences: the poems of John Betjeman & Phillip Larkin, the novels of Leslie Thomas, the song lyrics of Sting & Jake Thackray.
