Next album =Veil of Gossamer is an album by
Dave Bainbridge . Released in 2004.The idea for "Veil of Gossamer" came from an incident that is said to have occurred in the 7th century to a young shepherd boy whilst on the
Northumbrian hills, tending his flock. Seeing a strange sight in the sky off in the distance nearBamburgh andLindisfarne . It amounted to 'lights' ascending and descending from the heavens. The next day it appears this experience coincided with the death of the celtic saint, St. Aidan. The boy wasCuthbert who became a great church leader and saint himself and succeeded St. Aidan. the music comes from this inspiration.Recordings took place at the following:
