Imagine if Mike had married Likky what talented kids they would have.

Does anyone know where I can get Mike Heron tabs or chords. I'm after the tabs for Torch Song from his 98 album Conflict of Emotions. Thanks

[Happyvalleypondman]

Other than the fact that my Fylde guitar is split in exactly the same place as Mike's Fylde, I'm not really au fait with Mike's chords. Your best bet is to have a look at the ISB group on Yahoo. There are some very helpful people there who could probably sort you out,

All the Best

my brother Chris now deceased so sadly, introduced me to the ISB ands i have all the albums and spent many a dark night listeneing to their melodic beautiful songs..this is great..he is lucky to play with his daughter as i am to play soccer still with my son...

I remember speaking to Mike at the ISB gig at the Eden Project in 2001; he was a bit miffed because he'd forgotten to buy Georgia something for her school project. I could relate to that.

Playing football with your son-one of life's "little" things that really are golden moments. But you know that anyway because you know the ISB, as did your brother and I think their music enriches us.

Thanks and best wishes

I still have his albums somewhere-3 of them include Hangmans Beautiful Daughter and double album and another i cannot recall name of-perhaps the first one.

Its a small world-created more so by web and coincidence would have it i live near Molesey and often go to High St in Hampton Court/Molesey with my wife.

My brother was very musical and i learnt a lot about music via his influence, though regretabbly don't play. read Adam Ant auto last week which was really good though at time not cool

One of my childhood heroes, fantastic band ISB and this is gorgeous. Thank you.

Well, the joke is that we were all going to  be wealthy accountants....except that we saw the String Band... and afterwards life was never the same. It's just that we got rich in different ways. Glad you liked it.

[thenickfaber]

This is so lovely. Thank you!

[Happyvalleypondman]

Glad you enjoyed it. There are few problems in life that can't be solved by humming this tune to yourself IMHO.
