"Odin's People""Gone the Rainbow" BBC Radio - Music
through Midnight This the
sort of music we wanted to sing. In this case, Folk music, with the addition of
a little jazz flute. The jazz flute thing was almost incidental and did not
occur often. I didn't blow flute too much in those years. But it was basically
our kind of music. If we had been on the ball we would have gotten hold of the
actual recordings...we had (and squandered) plenty of opportunities! In the end
it was down to my mum to do the job...holding a tape recorder microphone in
front of the 'speaker of her radio! How sad is that? In the early 70s we did so
much radio work it was almost a joke...and all we had to do was ask the
engineers for tapes and we would have had the lot. As it is...

"Odin's People""I Need You" An unwelcome foray into the
60's pop work. This was the agent's idea. He happened to own the "Major
Minor" record label. The picture below was taken on the "Queen Mary" We
were also doing some cabaret work then - keeping the wolf from the door!
