Hi guy's and girls
Just thought I'd introduce myself.
Mad keen Mike fan since purchasing TB in 1973 at the ripe old age of 13! Followed everything since then.... Good and bad lol!
Looking forward to RTO which is pretty ordered. In fact looking forward to 2017 being an epic year for Mike's music. Currently listening to the back catalogue in my current abode... The Beacon.
Look forward to chatting to like minded fans.

Now that's quite a place to be!

I've been to that area quite a few times now and I've always enjoyed the atmosphere that the area has. It feels like the place really infused itself into the two albums Mike worked on while he was living there and I think Ommadawn, being recorded there, seems almost more tied to Kington then Hergest Ridge is...

Are you planning on covering the walls with egg cartons again (it's not actually a particularly effective acoustic treatment, but I guess it worked for Mike...)? ;)

Looking forward to seeing you around the place!

Hi Korg,
No more egg boxes lol. The walls still bear the scars if you look closely.
Listening to RTO here as we speak and it is a great album IMHO.
