The Fairy Ring is Mike Rowland's first album and one of the most famous recordings in the relaxation/meditative genre. In the early 1980s Mike had a very unusual experience; while strolling through a large forest near Stanstead in Mid-England he suddenly heard an almost unworldly wonderful music coming from somewhere.
This occurence made a great impression on him. Back at home, Mike played the music he had heard as best as he could in front of a microphone attached to a simple tape recorder. That is how The Fairy Ring originally came into being. The music was so strong that hundreds of thousands of copies were sold without any advertising or promotional activities, simply due to what the music had to say, plain and unadorned.
