Profile Information
- About Me
- Renaissance fan and amateur concert photographer. Currently trying to round up and restore as much historical Renaissance photographic footage as I can, especially live concert images (which is scarce!)
Contact me if you have rare photos of Renaissance that you would like to digitize and restore.
- Web site (if you have one)

- Renaissance fan since when?
- Heard BBC Sessions on the radio in Finland in the 70s
- Favorite Album
- Song for All Seasons
- Favorite Renaissance tone poem (aka "song")
- Opening Out / Day of the Dreamer (I consider them a single epic)
- First Renaissance concert
- 1982 Agora Ballroom, Atlanta, Camera Camera tour - first and only time, and only caught the first 3-4 songs due to girlfriend's medical emergency (tough call.) I married her anyway. Opening Out/Day of the Dreamer was breathtaking.
Also saw Annie Haslam band at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta in 1998 (see profile picture.) It was her first time performing in Atlanta since that 82 Agora Ballroom show (and last time - hopefully that will change this year!)
- Did you attend the 2009-2011 tours?
- No

Good luck with the auction. I probably won't bid since I have two unplayed copies already. :-) "

I don't know the full details, but the images and text…

Will also be blogging about Annie as my new blog gets up and running (www.piersford.wordpress.com) to coincide with the Renaissance concerts this summer.
