About Me

'Tale Spin' & 'Arcane Rising' CDs available on Sunbeam Records..........Visit our website www.thestorymusic.co.uk........

We (Martin Welham and son Tom) have been writing and recording together as The Story for the past few years, creating what's turned out to be loosely psychedelic acoustic music from the depths of Somerset, England.

Martin was part of UK psych-folk band Forest (myspace.com/forest70) who released 2 albums in 1969 and 1970 on the Harvest label. Recently Forest's eponymous debut album was re-issued by Radioactive Records on both Vinyl and CD.
In October 2005 The Story contributed one side of 'The Dawn Is Crowned' a vinyl LP with Whysp. Our debut full-length album 'Tale Spin' was released Feb 2006 on Sunbeam Records. Out second full-length album 'Arcane Rising' was released in download form in May 2007 and on CD in November 2007 also on the Sunbeam label.
