New #review today: "#TheOwlService is an English alternative folk music collective formed in 2006 by multi-instrumentalist #StevePaulCollins. Back in 1990 Collins was a teen, and unsurprisingly a metalhead. One day, while working in his local record shop he discovered #Fotheringay’s 1970 debut album, and a new world opened up. His love of #SandyDenny’s music led to the formation of The Owl Service sixteen years later." #ExposeOnline #FairportConvention #FolkRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-owl-service-a-tribute-to-sandy-denny-6.html

From the British Fantasy Society:

In his semi-regular column on the TV that made us SFFH fans, Gary Couzens revisits The Owl Service, a formative book and series for many of today’s folk horror writers.
