about

No, not some soundtrack for a bizarre new form of animal cruelty, but a celebration of one of our favourite places – Dovedale in Derbyshire’s Peak District.

The stones in question are stepping stones across the River Dove, just before it starts to get really serious about being a river.

A fantastic place – peaceful, unspoilt, painfully picturesque, where mobile ‘phones don’t work and the only sounds are the sheep, the birds and the river itself. If, by chance, you remember the old version of our website, I was photographed in an “Oops, missus, where’s me kestrel?” pose with the very stones I speak of here just behind me.

In winter especially, it’s a magical spot – crows cawing like jet-black clichés, bare trees silhouetted against steel-blue skies above the snow-covered peaks either side of the river, hints of ice at the riverbank…and the Dove, swollen by winter rains and thaws, sweeping over the stones and roaring off to the south.

This is Beth’s favourite on the album – “Definitely a winter track,” quoth she and I agree. I recorded this in December and I think it shows.
