A fictional
story, set in medieval times, of a grieving husband and his departed wife
who returns each year on the anniversary of her death to dine with her

The sad rule is that he may only look but must not touch.

Deborah Joy - Accusing Angel
Whispers
Colin Reece, Deborah Joy, Karen Taylor and Drew
Millin - The Marldon
and Plainmoor Barefoot and Brassic Purgatory Choir
These
last three tracks are deliberately linked. They take on the theory that it
would be easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than to
enter the gates of Heaven. (I’d better hope I don’t make a million out of
this album).
The very first part may seem badly recorded at first hearing. In fact it
was. It’s part of a long lost tape recorded on four track cassette in
1990. Found again by my old friend Bob Terry, I decided to expand on it
and include the result on the new album.
The scene is set with our wealthy villain being escorted through
Purgatory. The Devil’s band is playing and the Devil, as we all know,
being an expert fiddler, joins in. The rich man pleads his case and is
then escorted by the accusing angels to meet Old Nick
himself..................
