Notes On "To Althea From Prison"
Introduction Apologies for the spelling mistake in the subheading Many years ago I bought the album "Nine" by Fairport Convention. I still love the album today and it is home to many great songs.

What is Whimsigoth? It's a goth style altered by themes of space and nature. Witch themes can also be a considered definition.

Playlist: More than a stone's throw
Vice Killer – The Dark Side of the Railway Forty years after the Miners’ Strike, the scars are still keenly felt in northern England.
