Mostly Autumn are a rock band from York, UK. Their music contains elements of progressive rock, hard rock, folk-rock and celtic rock, and has included flute, violin, whistles and Uilleann pipes alongside traditional rock instruments. Their music has changed and evolved over the years although much of their work retains a strong 70s classic rock feel.
The band was formed in 1997 by guitarist and vocalist Bryan Josh and has undergone a great many lineup changes over the band’s history, too many to list in full. The earliest lineup of the band featured Heidi Widdop on lead vocals, but by the time they recorded their debut album For All We Shared in 1998 for Cyclops Records she had been replaced by Heather Findlay. The album features an eight-piece band including Iain Jennings on keyboards, Liam Davidson on rhythm and slide guitars, and Bob Faulds on violin. Angela Gordon appears as a guest musician, although she was subsequently to to join the band as a full-time member. Two further albums followed on Cyclops, The Spirit of Autumn Past (1999) and The Last Bright Light (2001). By the time of latter Bob Faulds had left the band, but they had been joined by current bassist Andy Smith.

I discovered this wonderful but nearly unknown band over lastfm (thank you!). Mostly Autumn are a mixture between Pink Floyd, Gazpacho, Marillion, Jethro Tull and Clannad - but with a special own style. Even the songs which find the balance between the female voice and rocky guitar solos are brilliant. The greatest surprise is the amount of wonderful songs: some of my favourites are Distant Train, Carpe Diem, Ebergreen, Answer the question, Storms over still water, Paper Angels, Goodbye alone, The Night Sky, Hold the sun, The gap is too wide ... And for the friends of long track music: Mother Nature as the counterpart to Marillions Grendel or Gazpachos Dream of Stone! I love them! When do you come to Germany for a concert?

In the meantime I've bought all MA - Albums and most of them are on heavy rotation. But my favourite is still "Storms over still water":)

Heather Findlay's EP mentioned below is very different stylistically and vocally from both her work in Mostly Autumn and in her Odin Dragonfly collaboration with Angela Gordon. You could describe it as: "Heather finds her inner rock chick." :) But anyway, it's just as brilliant.
