  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    13-track, CD album. Comes in a card, laminated gatefold sleeve with track-detail insert. It has a running time of approximately 47mins.

    "It certainly doesn't disappoint" Andrew Young - Terrascope

    "this is not traditional folk music, but then neither is it modern folk music, nor prog, nor ambient (nor any other labelled genre). That said, given the different emphases in each track, there are aspects of each. In many ways, though, it could be said that the album is more traditional than most folk music" - Mike Wistow folking.com


    A New Broom Sweeps Clean!
    DUIR release a re-imagining of their ‘classic’ 2007 album. Remastered by COMPUTER coalwood, 'The Stout Guardian of the Door’ has received a spring clean and its re-release adds further weight to the expanding DUIR catalogue.

    Originally started in the autumn of November 2003, shortly after the release of 'A Giant' by The Sons of T.C.-Lethbridge. Stout Guardian was based upon observations made on fieldtrips to places of interest in Lincolnshire. The recordings take the form of a journey from Terry Welbourn's birthplace in Grantham, north; along the limestone escarpment known as the Lincoln Edge, to the River Humber.

about

This song is dedicated to T.C. Lethbridge, for he reminds us how important it is to observe the detail of nature during our passage.

lyrics

I am walking the two roads
Roads that lead to the sea
I am walking with hindsight
Are you walking with me?

And every road leads somewhere
And every track is free
Walking these ancient hillsides
Are you following me?

And everyone needs Jesus
That is everyone but me
We’re all looking for answers
Its easy – can’t you see.

For we are true to Lethbridge
We cut a path down through the lea
In a landslip of surprises
The five go down to the sea

There are ghosts in the morning air
Its the sunlight that sets them free
There are fields yet to be discovered
Are you listening (are you listening?) to me?
