Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1976, United Kingdom.

Derde album van deze Engelse Progfolk band.

The Spriguns (of Tolgus) were formed as a duo in 1972 by husband and wife,Mike and Mandy Morton playing traditional folk music not dis-similar to early Steeleye Span .They opened The Anchor Folk Club in Cambridge,gradually enlisting more musicians.Their first recording was a badly recorded cassette only set of sons called "Rowdy Dowdy Day". All the while,they were attracting a large and following.
They came to the attention of Steeleye Span"s Tim Hart who produced their first album proper,"Jack With Feather" in 1973.

Six months after the release of "Jack With Feather", Mandy formed the new "Spriguns" ,dropping the "Of Tolgus" suffix and signing with Decca Records.The band recorded "Revel Weird and Wild" in1975, again produced by Tim Hart.
The sound was becoming rockier but they hadn"t forgotten their traditional roots just yet.
