Who are The Rowan Amber Mill

"Working to an epic scale, The Rowan Amber Mill are intense and magnificent, a hypnotic banjo adding menace to the tune(s), whilst an incessant drone nags away at the back of your mind ". Terrascope Online (Terrascopic Magazine)

The Rowan Amber Mill are Stephen, Kim and Terry, are purveyors of Pastoral Folkadelica / Strange Folk (delete as appropriate). The sound is, in various incarnations, produced by Acoustic Guitars, a Bouzouki, an Electric Guitar, a Banjo, a Wobbly Bass, paint pots and percussion, voices and some whistles being recorded recorded in disused sheds in the heart of the Westcountry of Olde Englande.

The music is their own brand of Pastoral Psychedelic Folk. Music produced out of love of both the authentic and innovative Sixties and Seventies folk of Fairport Convention, Martin Carthy, early Steeleye Span and Trees and the delight of the current crop of "acid folkists" such as Espers, Tunng and Circulus. To sum up then - Modern tales of the timeless. Images hidden within pastoral landscapes. Music first and last. Expansive and Free. Cheese and Onion.
