I listed all the instruments to give you a clue about the genre (folk rock). Instead you used the list to find the right album. Clever! The Stolen Child, music by Mike Scott (yup, he’s Scottish), words by W. B. Yeats:VIDEO

Very good. I have certainly heard of the band, but do not know their music well. Good job making us think. I have a song in mind if anyone cares to guess it.

I tried to ask British, but was denied, probably because I asked the exact same question in my last post in Guess Person Game.
So hopefully, with all these other superfluous words, my question will come through: British?

Yes, British. You are three for three.

Can’t continue like that all the way through, you know. By a band? (More likely to get a new "yes" that way …)

I’ve probably run out of luck now: Prog Related or Proto-Prog?

That’s ok. Let’s try something different: Is the song on the band’s debut album?

An interesting question and one that few have asked before. No it is not on the debut.

If the answer had been yes, we could have ruled out all the bands that started in the 60’s. Ah, well, is the name of the band more than one word?
