Album Notes & Community Reviews

Privately pressed in an incredibly small run before his formation of Be-Bop Deluxe, 'Northern Dream' is the stunning solo debut of Yorkshire guitarist Bill Nelson[cite: 1]. The album is steeped in shimmering acoustic folk, layered with his incredibly fluid, psychedelic electric lead lines[cite: 1]. Caught the ear of legendary DJ John Peel, directly launching his professional music career[cite: 1].
