The Great Park is the music of Stephen Burch. BIOGRAPHY Stephen Burch was born in the south of England, but spent most of his early life traveling around before his family settled in rural Ireland. On their farm is an old abandoned cottage, nearly collapsed but with one room dry and warm enough to make music in. In 2009 The Great Park played over 150 concerts in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy and England. Ten albums are available on Woodland Recordings. (Stephen Burch wurde im Süden von England geboren, verbrachte jedoch den größten Teil seines frühen Lebens damit, herum zu reisen, bevor seine Familie sich im ländlichen Irland niederließ. Auf ihrer Farm steht eine verlassene Hütte, die beinahe in sich zusammenfällt, aber ein Zimmer birgt, das trocken und warm genug ist, um Musik darin zu machen. Eine klassische Akkustikgitarre und das Klavier der Familie, Bürsten, Töpfe und Metallketten. Bilder von Feldern, Bauernhäusern, Tieren, Verfolgung und Flucht -- Charaktere erscheinen und tauchen an verschiedenen Orten wieder auf -- dichte Reiselieder -- die einenden Motive sind die von todernstem Drama und Möglichkeiten innerhalb des 'Great Park'. 2009 spielte The Great Park über 150 Konzerte in Deutschland, der Schweiz, Dänemark, Italien und England. Zehn Alben sind bisher auf Woodland Recordings erhältlich.) "Intimate morose folk songs, rooted in a strange personal world of fields and birds and love and persecution." (Southcoasting blog') "...this is a journey, a misadventurer's odyssey; it's vivid, it's elemental and the wounds are exposed. The road is pitted and merciless, stark and unyielding. The engrossing imagery will draw you in and repeated listening reveals new musical and lyrical nuances."
