The Gathering - a 'super group' playing from the heart - consists of Lucinda Drayton (from Bliss, the voice of A Hundred Thousand Angels); Russell Stone (of R & J Stone, writer/singer of the worldwide hit, 'We Do It'); Phil Hudson, guitarist with The Lighthouse Family; Marcus Cliffe, bass guitarist who plays with Mark Knopfler; Mike Timothy, former MD of Massive Attack; and Signy Jakobsdottir, percussionist with Capercaillie. Apart from the artists and bands mentioned above, these talented musicians have worked with the likes of Marvin Gaye and Tina Turner. They have written worldwide hits and played all over the globe.

Startled by the Familiar - Nothing was pre-written; they simply took the time to abide; and then picked up their instruments and played. It was awe inspiring! Slowly the grooves, chants and improvisations took form to produce an organic music that is beyond category.
