Although this group is hailing from Canterbury, they are not to be classified as such. Those musicians developed one of the better examples of prog-folk or folk-prog. The original line-up consisted of main writer Martin Cockerham as singer and guitarist, the beautiful and well known to progheads Barbara Gaskin on vocals, Steve Borrill on bass and Julian Cusack on violin. Although Dave Mattacks (of FAIRPORT CONVENTION fame) played drums on all three SPIROGYRA albums, he was never a member but a guest on the albums. Their first album, "St-Radiguns" was quite successful and very adventurous and can compared to COMUS's First Utterances. Very moody, politically conscious songs full of great interplay (much like THE TREES) and with a great duo of voices in the COMUS or JEFFERSON AIRPLANE manner are the main assets of the highly recommended album. The follow-up "Old Boot Wine" however did not manage to succeed quite as well and Cusack appear only as a guest but they had a keyboardist instead. By the time of the third album "Bells, Boots and Shambles", the band was down to just Cockerham and Gaskin with both ex-member Cusack and Borrill appearing as guest. This album was quite a return to form and there are some real epics full of cello for great melancholy moments. Sadly, this proved to be their last album. Barbara will go on with local bands as HATFIELD AND THE NORTH as one of the Northettes, than work with NATIONAL HEALTH and in the 80's work with Bill Bruford and Dave Stewart. Highly recommended and much more so than some other folk band (FOREST, HORSLIPS) especially regarding the prog contents. Lyrics : Holy John Give me food Tonight I am so hungry Tonight my eyes are searching for a way Holy John Give me shelter Tonight I am so weary Tonight my eyes are open wide Well the first man was a juggler, and his skill was very great But he said that he was leaving, he said he couldn't wait. The second came with jewels that flickered on his hand And he spoke about tomorrow as if it were another land. A lady caught between them said she should be free But they just looked bewildered, and said "yes so should we". "How on Earth" yelled the author "Does the tale make it's sense" "It's alive with the truth But we must have the proof How can we open the door" Well the next man had religion, it made him very proud He said he'd found his inner bliss, he said it very loud But a group of men surpassed him with science, skills, and speed They hurled down his conceptions and dug up all his weeds. The lady she looked worried, she asked if this was wise "Of course it is, it's logic, brains and enterprise". The last man had no number and didn't say a word He didn't even answer them when they said he was absurd They made him sign a treaty to give up all he owned And searched his pockets anxiously to see if he had gold The lady was enchanted and said they ought to see So they charged her with subversion and made her watch T.V. I'm a man with no future With no past or no time And I live by the door Lord I live by the door I won't be back no more. We are fighting a losing battle No one is winning No one's beginning We are looking for something that's missing Dark all around us Darkness surrounding We are on the doorway of knowledge Have we the wisdom? Have we the wisdom?
