Veil of Gossamer is a 2004 album by English rock musician Dave Bainbridge.
A notable source of inspiration for Veil of Gossamer, particularly for the song "Star-Filled Sky," came from a story that is said to have occurred in the 7th century: A young shepherd boy, whilst tending his flock on the Northumbrian hills, saw a strange sight in the sky in the distance near Bamburgh and Lindisfarne. It amounted to 'lights' ascending and descending from the heavens. The next day, this experience appeared to coincide with the death of the celtic saint, St. Aidan. The young shepherd was Cuthbert, who became a great church leader and saint himself, and who eventually succeeded St. Aidan. [1]
