I have the whole "War of the Worlds" album by Jeff Wayne and company. I listen to it regularly, and I just love the extended versions of these songs as the narrator (Sir Richard Burton) tells his tale. I could listen to that album once a week, easily.
Fantastic jam(uke). And sorry about Bike... I wuz only joking, and I certainly didn't mean to stir up any trauma (although that sounds like quite the original wedding!)
@leejohnson@abigail.deeks I agree. Was also going to jam this but went for the whole of WOTW in the end last week. 'It's bows and arrows against the lightning' x
@twistymellorman Ha no don't be silly I wouldn't have brought it up if it was to stir any trauma. We had lots of fun but he was a very unreliable Dad to our boys, a big hippy, lives in a converted luton van now and spends most of his time near Stonehenge. Yes a very lovely wedding and certainly very different, My dress was red my bridesmaids were fairies, wings an' all :)

@leejohnson We have the album too. Richard Burton's voice is marvellous. Very difficult to post anything on here from the album.
