The Albion Band in 1999

The Albion Band was the foremost acoustic band in England, performing mostly original material. Their musical appeal crossed all boundaries. For over 25 years, the vision and foresight of Ashley Hutchings daringly led, with the Albion Bands, indigenous British music from darkened clubs and presented it worldwide on festival stages, vibrant, alive and relevant. Generally considered to be the "Father of British Folk Rock", Ashley founded the three bands that changed the face of British Folk Music - The Albion Band, Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention. Alas the band is no longer with us, though the final line up did come back together at the beginning of 2005 for a special concert. This is one of the pages to the memory of those days. This is the line up that recorded, amongst other things, the grand a glorious album Before Us Stands Yesterday, and we here at albionchronicles, can't think of a better title.
