about

In olden times winter presented a significant worry to the community.

lyrics

Winter's Grip
Ken Punshon (2009)

Amber leaves are falling
The birds are flying home
Summer memories calling
Now that autumn's come

Foggy wisps are swirling
Moisture specks the boughs
Dewy droplets pearling
The spiders' webs like flowers

The evenings are a darkening
And fires are burning high
To winter we are harkening
The fields do empty lie

Christmas cheers us boldly
While snow and ice abound
New Year enters coldly
We scarcely hear a sound

Winter's fist is gripping
With frozen ground and sky
It seems life's hold is slipping
And everything will die

Winds are blowing strongly
Ice begins to thaw
Mists are taken wrongly
For frost's still at the door


Then come the first signs of the spring
With green shoots peeking through
Country sounds again do ring
The world has been renewed

Then come the first signs of the spring
With green shoots peeking through
Country sounds again do ring
The world has been renewed

about

Thursday's Child UK

Thursday's Child was born on a Monday (August Bank Holiday 2009)!

Chris Pyam and Ken Punshon got together to try out a couple of ideas for songs. That afternoon they created about eight songs; since then over 100 more have emerged, with a few more 'bubbling away'.

Heather Dunn joined us in Nov 13 to contribute additional harmonies during the creation of our third album (Carry My Thoughts).
