Through a Storm - Woolly Wolstenholme / Barclay James Harvest video free download

Was Wooley bipolar?... Every time I listen to this fantastic piece, I hear manic highs and depressive lows. Perhaps indictive of his life. The effect is so paradoxical it reeks of genius.

my reply on fripp was to a comment by leonakita.

I said in an earlier post the Robert Fripp LIKE guitar work not that it was THE Frippster.

leonakita

wow ! @ 1:20 becomes very King Crimsonish ..first with a 'Starless and Bible Black' type mellotron followed by Fripp like guitar.

Wooley put quality of music before the fast buck of a hit single. I believe that Lees and Holroyd became obsessed with having a hit single in Britain and that,together with the rather less ambitious BJH efforts from 79 onwards made Wooley leave to pursue his own ambitions. A wonderful,funny man. Greatly missed.

One year on - SJ"W"W - still so greatly missed....

A great song by a much-missed musician. I love the artwork, and what you've done with it to compile this video. Nice one.

Weird thing about this guy's songs is that none of them are inherently creepy or weird yet they give me this overwhelming sense of dread and anguish every time I listen. Very fascinating music.

brushuk

no fripp here, but woolly & myself were great admirers of king crimson, and there are parts of this song that were a definate nod in that direction....

No, Robert Fripp doesn't play on this. The guitarist here is Steve Broomhead. Listen to what we have lost......if only Woolly knew how much people would miss him.

leonakita

The Frippster plays on this? I never knew Wolly and Fripp worked together.

David Tett

Some lovely Mellotron from Woolly and I love the Robert Fripp like guitar work . I have to say there is anguish in the lyrics but sometimes that is the driving force behind all great music. I wish I could thank Woolly for the songs but it`s not to be. His music lives on in his fans hearts.

@ludo281160 and so agrees from the kid with the red Yamaha, goodbye Woolly and your magical Mellotron.

@ludo281160 Hear, hear Ludo! Well put.

Woolly was a real genius since 1967. He was the soul (most prog rock orientated member of BJH) certainly in early days. And I remember his warm voice, true melo-dramatic songs and a very humoristic man on life stages. A true loss as being a life time BJH-fan... May God be with you Woolly...All your songs will remain till my last breath.

Rest In Peace....

So sad to hear of Woolly's passing ..... he and BJH played a big part in my late-teen-angst years of the early 70s. RIP dear Woolly, and thanks for the beautiful music. Love and best wishes to all his fans

Wieder ein symphatischer, fantastischer Musiker tot - auch noch durch Selbstmord. Schrecklich. Ruhe in Frieden Wolly. Nun gibt es kein BJH mehr.
