Cheering The Plough by BARNSTORMER 1649 published on 2018-01-15T15:22:15Z A song for revolting peasants everywhere! This and the other tracks on this page are all from the first Barnstormer album, 'The Siege of Shoreham' released in 1996 and still available from www.attilathestockbroker.com . In the late 90s we did quite a few gigs around the UK playing this kind of stuff. Then our lineup changed... We became a band who toured extensively in mainland Europe and hardly at all in the UK (I did my solo stuff here) playing melodic Clashy punk with the odd medieval tinge and releasing three more albums: 'Just One Life' (2000) 'Zero Tolerance' (2004) and 'Bankers & Looters' (2012) But now the band has reverted to what I always intended it to be - a punk band playing (home made) Renaissance and Baroque music. Touring the UK all this year. It truly is the Renaissance of Barnstormer in ever sense of the word. Now inspired both instrumentally and lyrically by the incredible, radical period of the English Revolution of 1649, we are currently rehearsing 11 new pieces I have written (songs and instrumentals) for a new album 'Restoration Tragedy' which will be released later in the year. Genre Renaissancecore
