| dbo:abstract | Tea and Symphony was a British progressive rock musical group of the late 1960s and early 1970s, whose style may be described as "progressive folk". From Birmingham, England, they recorded two albums for Harvest Records, had one track, "Maybe My Mind (With Egg)", included on the Harvest sampler Picnic - A Breath of Fresh Air, toured Britain with Bakerloo (Blues Line) and were guests on John Peel's BBC radio programme. The group was generally a trio, though sometimes supplemented by extra musicians. Members included Jeff Daw (lead guitar, backing vocals, flute), James Langston (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Nigel Phillips (drums, backing vocals, keyboards, recorder, left 1969), Jonathan Benyon (mime, joined 1968 left 1969), Dave Carroll (guitar, backing vocals, bass, violin, joined 1970, left 1971), Bob Wilson (guitar, keyboards, joined 1969, left 1971), Peter 'Chatters' Chatfield (drums, joined 1970, left 1972), Tom Bennison (bass, French horn, joined & left 1970), Mick Barker (drums, joined 1971), and Stewart Johnson (guitars, vocal, joined 1971). Steve Eaves is another former alumnus. Tea and Symphony were one of the earliest bands to have their own dedicated light show, one of which was Ephemera Lights (Steve Hayes). They broke up when Wilson, Carroll and later addition drummer, Bob Lamb, all left in 1971 to join The Idle Race, and also became part of its successor, The Steve Gibbons Band. (en) |
