Limited Edition Blue vinyl with download code Limited to 500 hand numbered copies. Clay Pipe is very happy to bring you Gilroy Mere's third record on the label, Adlestrop is inspired by the remains of the rural railway stations, that were closed in the wake of the 1963 Beeching Report "This record started with Edward Thomas's poem Adlestrop and a chance visit to the village that it takes it's title from. I wanted to see the station, but found it was no longer there, all that remains is the old platform sign Adlestrop, now part of a local bus shelter. However as I walked around the village I was struck that; "all the birds of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire" were still singing away - like ghosts from Thomas' verse.
