Genre: Prog rock, folk rock
Places I remember: Slow Boat Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Headwind - The Eagle
Gear costume: Magpie Rag
Active compensatory factors: Gordon Giltrap is a really gifted guitarist and highly rated by other guitarists, who has made a lovely instrumental album - inspired by a book of the same name.

Side one in particular has some terrific Celtic flavoured songs. Gordon handles all of the acoustic and electric guitars and a number of prog rock influenced musicians help him out (Morris Pert, John Gustafson, Ian Mosley from Marillion among them).
This album just skips by; I think because there are no vocals I kind of drift off and end up playing each side over and over.
Where do they all belong? I'll certainly be on the look out for other Giltrap albums.
