The GREEN HOUSE BAND ~ Big Sun
With the sun due any day now it must be time to tell you about an exciting new development – our first exclusive Digital Download release.
The mighty Green House Band have joined forces with Fledg’ling for our first digital download release: Big Sun ~ The Green House Band (DOWN 4002), available now from all the very best download e-tailers, iTunes, e-music, etc.
A gathering of 1970s ‘cult’ folk / rock musicians and an award-winning theatrical arranger fronted by a beautiful young actress/singer forms the unusual nucleus of The Green House Band. The line-up includes former members of medieval rockers Gryphon; folk rockers Albion Band; and cult prog folk act Fuchsia. Vocals are by Madeleine Worrall, better known until now as a successful actress on stage and television. The core of the band will be familiar to all fans of the John Kirkpatrick Band.
