The Album
Why an album based on "The Fellowship of the Ring" By Tolkien?
In 2018, we wrote a Tolkien inspired album; "Not All Those Who Wander are Lost" which gave an overview of the Lord of Rings Story.
We want to follow that album up with one about "The Fellowship of the Ring" because, Tolkien's message of hope and perseverance in the face of impossible odds has become such a part of our life-journey. This theme in Tolkien's work has often helped us get through difficult days so we want to create an album will uplift you too!
A message of hope: "Don't give up: just keep putting one foot in front of the other"
This album will explore the journey from Frodo's point of view. Often, the burden of carrying the evil Ring to be destroyed was so overwhelming, that all he could do was focus on taking just one step at time to keep going.
And he couldn't have done it without his friends: The Fellowship.
JOIN the Fellowship!
