Beltane Fire could and should have become a major force in British rock music during the 1980’s, if only the wheels of fortune stopped in a different place for them. Beltane Fire were not your run-of-the-mill rock band. They had their own unique identity, truly a band that no one was able to pigeonhole. The release of WHITE STAG is the final page in the story of a band that could have been. From the mists of 1983 to the present day, people still enquire as to the whereabouts of that something very ”Different” that they heard or saw a glimpse of back in the day.
Listening to all 15 songs in sequence has been quite an emotional experience for all of us, the rate at which the band was growing creatively is immediately evident when you listen. Notably, the addition of a keyboard player brought with it a lot more scope for us to explore the texture of the sound that we wanted to create.
There are many who have told us (over the years since we ceased to be active as BELTANE FIRE) that we should have become a major force in British Rock music. The problems that we had after the label cast us adrift were the same that many faced back then. There was no internet community on which to promote and continue our progression, no social media, no YouTube none of the tools that would have been at our disposal today.
This collection of songs is a statement of what could have been, had the wheels of fortune stopped in a different place for us. The songs are unashamedly a celebration of this Island, its people, and its history. All the love, loss, frustration, and anger that we experienced back then are contained within. On this album are basically a collection of demo tapes, recorded between 1986-1989.
