Stuart Marson's first record (which I uploaded here) is one of the most beautiful loner-folk albums of the 1970s. Despite his musical talent Stuart would persue a career in teaching and would not release any recordings (as far as I am aware) for many years. He played in folk clubs in the area and wrote some songs here and there, a few of which he gave to other artists (notably: Close To The Wind, Over The Lancashire Hills).
Finally, in 2013, Stuart put out this CD of original compositions. Some old, some new, this album is as magical as his first. Stuarts voice has aged in the near-40-year gap between the two releases, but to no loss of beauty. His singing and playing are still truly wonderful to hear.
