Who are The Rowan Amber Mill

"Having quietly raved about the Rowan Amber Mill's previous release, it's a real pleasure to be able to turn our attention this time to ‘Heartwood'"
The album's well worth seeking out. Lovely stuff! Get it before it's gone." Terrascope.co.uk

"The mystical and majestic "Midsummers" album, an album of English folklore and themes. You can almost smell the cut grass in the hay meadow, watching the windmill turn in the breeze whilst enjoying a countryside picnic and yet at the same time be reminded that nature can be dark and beautiful as well as pretty and faye". Fatea Magazine

"Few tellers of whispered woodland tales tell them so effectively as The Rowan Amber Mill". www.folkwords.com

The Rowan Amber Mill are Stephen, Terry and Sharon, they are purveyors of Woodland Folkadelica / Contemporary 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.
