Alfred Lord Tennyson once lyrically wrote “On either side the river lie, Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road runs by To many-tower'd Camelot” and there is something about this brand new single from masterful Richard Dillion that draws a compelling narrative about that very location, and quite rightly called Camelot performed by Neil Patton.

Dreamy days of summers long past haunt the green woods and forests as we walk in the tonal footprints of another brilliant new composition from Dillion. Patton's tender touch on the piano is akin to an August breeze blowing across the face of a loved one.

This single is not just a great work of solo piano, it is incredibly descriptive, with a posture, power and intensity all of its own, and then contained within the already strong musical prose, comes a sensitive segment that is both deeply touching and steeped in ancient energies.

Camelot is also multi-faceted; I found a serene sense of ambience within this new offering, the juxtaposition that this offered when partnered with the more robust and regal tones made this for me ultra-special, this could indeed be one of the finest arrangements that Richard Dillion has manifested, I certainly adore it.
