emotional series follows the daily lives of farm-workers, craftsmen and gentry in two contrasting communities: Lark Rise, the small hamlet, gently holding on to the past and Candleford, the neighbouring market town, bustling into the future.When the young Laura Timmins leaves Lark Rise for a job at the local post office in Candleford, it feels as if she is departing to a different country. Her new life under the wing of the independent and effervescent post-mistress, Dorcas Lane, is eye-opening and exciting, but as Laura witnesses the scandals, feuds and struggles of the villagers and townsfolk, she realises that she too has to face the future. Having turned her back on her childhood hamlet, she must find her own path to womanhood...

pattern of the seasons and the customs of the countryside. Seen through the eyes of a young girl, Laura, this work portrays May Day celebrations and forgotten children's games, harvest times and traditional songs and farmworkers and craftsmen.
Advantages: Songs never grow old, surprisingly good versions by interesting artists Disadvantages: You may not like all the artists on the album, but that shouldn't stop you
Little can be added to the praise that has always been heaped on Carole King's album "Tapestry". But a group of artists have found a better way than words to show their admiration and love for this practically perfect collection of songs. With a plethora of artists from Celine Dion to Manhattan Transfer to Rod Stewart, this Tribute will appeal to practically everyone. Granted, not all the artists' will suit the taste of true lovers of the original clear clean voice that we know as Carole King, but there is a lot to recommend this album.
My personal favorite track on this album is Manhattan Transfer's version of "Smackwater Jack". This ballad like song, with its slightly country overtones, seems to fit the voices of this group like a glove. They've done nothing particularly special with the song, but still, it seems like they have ...
Advantages: good story, excellent acting, scenery and music Disadvantages: bloody battle scenes and subtitles may not appeal to all
Young Temudgin is the son of the Mongol Khan (leader) and as he is now 10 he sets of with his Father to pick his bride. Temudgin upsets his father by picking his bride from a different tribe so peace cannot be made. Temudgin falls insistently in love with Bort and says he will return when he is 15 to marry her.
Temudgin is about to have his world turned upside down when his father gets murdered and the second in commend of the tribe start rioting and taking over, as Temudgin is rightfully the new Khan he is told that when he becomes a man he will be killed as Mongols do not kill children. Temudgin now has to leave his mother and set out on his own to the mountain where he can pray to the God of the Blue Sky for help and guidance. Along the way Temudgin makes a blood brother and starts to find the strength to protect himself. He does ...
Advantages: A superb album, very catchy, entertains throughout Disadvantages: Still Tragicly underrated
It seems strange that its been a couple of months since my last music review. So to get myself back into music reviews again I?ve decided to go for a recent addition to my music collection. The third album from, The Beta Band. They are one of the best kept secrets in the country, that in fact everyone will probably have heard at some point. I?m sure your probably wondering how that?s possible, well they appear on a number of soundtracks. Most notably one of the main tracks on Trigger happy TV was by The Beta Band and they also get a mention in High Fidelity.
Coming out of Edinburgh they have risen slowly with 2 previous albums and a collection of their EP?s. It?s the appearance on Trigger Happy that really brought them to my attention and inspired me to seek out some music by the band. Although they receive a lot of coverage they seem ...

Album Notes
LARK RISE TO CANDLEFORD was originally released in 1980. Not a traditional Albion Band recording, it's a collaboration with playwright Keith Dewhurst that adapts three novels by British author Flora Thomson into a pair of plays that were produced in 1978 and 1979. LARK RISE TO CANDLEFORD consists of the Albion Band's original music for the plays, with occasional narrations by Dewhurst from Thomson's books. Martin Carthy, John Tams, Shirley Collins, Bill Caddick, and John Kirkpatrick provide the lead vocals, with Albion Band leader Ashley Hutchings directing the traditional British folk tunes.
