The Ancient Yew Tree
Picture of the Ancient Yew Tree Hope Bagot.
Utopia studios is lucky enough to have a 2000 year old Yew Tree less than 200 yards from it. This is a special place. It is worshipped by many (the summer solstice was busy). It also has a natural spring running underneath it – nourished by the roots of the tree.
A quick search on google, hope bagot, ancient yew will bring back a number of videos taken of the tree by druids, worshippers and tree gods!
I find the spring is the perfect place to wash yourself clean before composing music.
The track ‘The Sun, The Stars’ was inspired by the concept of the light dancing on this spring. You can listen to it
The Spring itself can be heard on the ‘Above You’ – alongside a 70s Mellotron!
Hope you enjoy… Love and Light,
David.
