  • Chris Brown has produced many albums and has been an active member of the Edward Thomas fellowship for years. A few years back he put together an album of the great poet's work delivered by professional actors called "Fast beat my heart (Edward Thomas and family at Steep)". We hear a couple of the poems from that CD which relate to Thomas's experiences during WWI and his connection the Steep area of Petersfield during that time.
