Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

These folk rockers hailed from Hampshire (IOW... I think) a really good album cut at Olympic.
Bit of a 'Cowgirl In The Sand' vibe going on-but explore the album... s'nice!

Dancer - Fairhill Affair.
From the 1972 Tales Of The Riverbank..

Dancer - Mind The Houses.

A band called EAST OF EDEN had a top 10 UK hit in 1970 or 1971 but I can't recall the name of the record?. Ian you probably remember it also the guy who played the 'fiddle' in the band was a friend of Keith Moon drummer in The Who and he also played the fiddle sequence on the Who's Baba O'Reilly the first song on the Who's Next album in 1971.

@E-Z, was it one of these albums? Very dark band so I haven't listened in years

.. Indeed E-Z, Dave Arbus?
East Of Eden were great..... That single Jig a Jig, reminds me of Church Hall disco's (I thought it was Horslips at first)
The albums were much better.

Ha ha yes Jig a Jig that song conjures up memories of my 2nd or 3rd year at secondary school circa 1970/71 anyway I knew that you would know Ian. Another single released around the same time as the East Of Eden Jig a Jig single was a song that also got into the British top 10 called TITANIC by a band or group called SULTANA I recall which from memory was a catchy number.

Recgord27 might know these and probs... does.
This is the only 1970 album I have by them... total banger... it's the real dope!
These Brothers hailed from Cape Town.

McCully Workshop - Why Can't It Rain?

Hey E-Z, you really makin' me laugh and stroll down teenage avenue!
I do indeed recall Titanic half brit/Norway outfit... with a John Kongas vibe going on.

Sultana was a homage to Santana...

I think Magic asked "How I remember stuff?"
(I do lateral thinking and latch on to one thing to recall another).. Think Edward Dé Bono discovered this thought pattern... Anyways..... The reason I remember Titanic is some members went on to form the France based Space.

Magic Fly.

Here's truly a blast from life's past.. Features Rupert Hine Who worked with Rush, Kevin Ayers, Tina Turner and hundreds of others... Wimbledon band hit the (sweet spot?) only with this tongue twister.

Quantum Jump - The Lone Ranger.
