Faraway Folk biography
FARAWAY FOLK began as a husband-wife pair of British folk singers (John and Shirley Turk) dating back to the 1950s. The two named the band after meeting fellow folk musicians John Hartshorn and Judy Whittington and securing a recurring gig at a local Brixham hotel, followed almost immediately with their first recording entitled appropriately ?Introducing?. The group?s first full-length release was recorded live at the same Bolton Hotel that summer, and the band left their day jobs to pursue music full-time.
By 1974 Hartshorn and Whittington had departed, replaced by then 17-year old bassist Bryony Smith, who toured and recorded with the group for two years before leaving himself; but not before appearing on the band?s most well-known release ?Seasonal Man?. Guitarist Adrian Morris was added to the lineup for the band?s remaining few years, but following a decline in appearances and general fading popularity of folk-based music toward the end of the decade the group disbanded in 1980. The Turks reunited with Smith for a short-lived run as country-tinged band CREAM COUNTY. John and Shirley Turk still perform as a regional act today.
FARAWAY FOLK are a mild representation of modern folk music with admittedly only flashes of progressive stylings; that said, their opus ?Seasonal Man? earns them recognition as one of the unfairly forgotten folk acts of the seventies.
