I have privately released two albums, "The Last Druids" (2002) and "The Eye of the Cyclone" (2003). These are, according to one reviewer "progressive rock heavily informed by celtic music", though there are also space-rock influences in the second album. My next album "The Store of All the Worlds" will be released in March 2004.
See album and concert reviews in the "Reviews" section.
You may see reviews of the albums at the excellent "Aural Innovations" site:

I have been producing music privately for a number of years; "The Last Druids" and "The Eye of the Cyclone are single concept works that are designed to take the listener on a musical journey - in the first case, ancient Britain at the dawn of the Dark Age. The second album in the series, "The Eye of the Cyclone" is loosely based on the beliefs that The Last Druids may have held.
The third album, "The Store of All the Worlds", was released in June 2004 and is a tour around possible dystopias - a set of sf "short story" songs.
