Circle Of Friends – Cherokee Moon 2024


The debut Circle of Friends album, ‘The Garden’, was put together in 2021 by Bruce Mee as a tribute to his mother, who died of cancer the previous year. Consisting of many well-known names in the genre (Doro, Robin Beck, Jeff Scott Soto, James Christian, Robin McAuley etc) this album was only ever meant to be a special one-off.
However, there were still a few songs from the past that Bruce wanted to bring up to date, and with a generous helping of originals, ‘Cherokee Moon’ was realised. Growing up in the 80s, Bruce’s love was for Classic and Melodic Rock, an
