The Albion Chronicles. Vol. 1

Dear Friends

Now Where're They Off To?
 
Now that is a very good question indeed! We had no idea what direction this website was going to take. Usually we have some idea, at least of where we're going, but not this time, we still don't, but to a lesser degree than previously, though it is with the words of The Venerable Bede that we most certainly welcome you here.
 Seems that Steve Knightley and Phil Beer, those two known as Show of Hands, have taken a hand in the guidance of these pages known as The Albion Chronicles, now, as to how much this guidance will have an effect is the unknown quantity, but the way the things look right now, the said effect will be great, which is not a bad thing at all. Listen, if you will to the lyrics that Steve Knightley writes, and the music that both he and Phil Beer compose, it goes to the heart, and that is where we'd like to go with this website, to examine just a little closer that which makes up England and its history, in this case its history through song and the written word, the usual sample links can be found in their usual place, on you right hand side of this page, some of them are not your usual ones, but that's the point to The Albion Chronicles, off our usual beaten path......Oh and don't worry, the usual gang of suspects, Ashley Hutchings et al aren't far off..........as you'll see it is the vision of Ashley and company, Show of Hands, and alot of matters musical that will colour the look of this particular site, but you knew that already..... come on, let's have a look......
