Skinningrove Bay

'Skinningrove Bay' is a musical kaleidoscope of memories, observations, and wry comments as gleaned through the eyes of Jack Lancaster who lived a colourful youth amid the last Iron and Whaling communities of Whitby and Skinningrove Bay in the North East of England.

To tell his story, Jack, once a Blodwyn Pig, and now a notable solo artist and highly regarded session musician in his own right, gathered together a matchless group of artistes and musicians including such illustrious names as Phil Collins, Gary Moore, Rod Argent, Clive Bunker, Mick Rogers, and Robin Lumley, whose talents surely need not be referred to further.

This fusion of musical persuasions then set about giving birth to a series of cameo performances which offers a rare opportunity of not only hearing this assembly of talent performing together as a unit on this exceptional album, but an insight into playing, performances and even material that would not normally be associated with such giants of the Rock music genre.

'Skinningrove Bay' is a fascinating, highly unique and beautiful suite of progressive Rock music with Celtic, Nordic, Jazz, Church and Pop influences. It deserves a place on the shelf of any discerning collector of Classic Rock Music.
