Dave Madden and Peter Harris were a teacher / pupil folk duo from Sidney who in 1975 recorded and self-released this progressive / psychedelic folk-rock masterpiece. British influenced sound with lots of mellotron, vintage keyboards, strings, drums, fuzz bursts, dreamy vocals, etc, containing an impressive 20-minute long suite which has to be heard to be believed.

Think Subway, Mellow Candle, Magna Carta, Ithaca…

Essentially a contemporary folk record, it displays some beautiful neo-medieval folk, explores the edges of progressive rock and folky pop rock, and even skirts Kinks like vaudevillian humour” “Sections of the album seem cut from the very same tapestry that gave the world Ireland’s Tír na nÓg or the English Magna Carta” – Richard Allen
