Spirogyra are a British folk/prog band that recorded three albums between 1971 and 1973, with another original album in 2009. Martin Cockerham (vocals/guitar) and Mark Francis originally formed Spirogyra as a duo in Bolton, Lancashire in the summer of 1967. When Martin went to the University of Kent at Canterbury in 1969 he expanded the band to include fellow students Barbara Gaskin (vocals), Steve Borrill (bass guitar), and Julian Cusack (violin). They were soon spotted by student union entertainments officer Max Hole, who offered to manage them and got them a recording contract with B&C Records. Their debut album, St. Radigunds, was named after the street that their student house was on. It established them as a cult act on the underground club circuit, and sold respectably. 01 - The Future Won't Be Long 02 - Island 03 - Magical Mary 04 - Captain's Log 05 - At Home In The World 06 - Cogwheels Crutches And Cyanide 07 - Time Will Tell 08 - We Were A Happy Crew 09 - Love Is Afunny Thing 10 - The Duke Of Beaufoot LINK
