A bit of the Irish!!!
In the early to mid 70s there was an Irish band called FRUUPP. They released 4 albums and a few singles.
Their albums were 1) Future Legends 2) Seven Secrets 3) The Prince of Heaven's Eyes and 4) Modern Masquerades.
They were very extremely good but like so many bands never really made it. Their music, though, was great. My favourite album is The Prince of heavens eyes. It's one of those very Prog things, a concept album based around a folk story by Paul Charles. There are some wonderful guitar solos and the sound is augmented by the Oboe of Stephen Houston.
There is one Compilation album available but I can't remember it's name (I lent it to a friend who disappeared without returning it......Hey ho).
Would love to see some of their stuff out there. Has anyone else ever heard of them? I'm not sure if they ever made it over to the USA.
Merry Christmas.
