Spirogyra, originally formed by
Martin Cockerham and Mark Francis,
were one of the bands of the late English folk revival that embraced
progressive-rock and psychedelia.
St Radigunds (B&C, 1971) was an innovative work, with
Barbara Gaskin on vocals,
Julian Cusack on violin, Martin Cockerham on guitar
and Tony Cox on electronic keyboards.
Old Boot Wine (B&C, 1972) and
Bells, Boots And Shambles (B&C, 1973)
were slightly less creative, although the textures got thicker (cello,
flute) and jazzier.
Gaskin went on to form a duo with Dave Stewart.
Spirogyra returned after a three-decade hiatus with Children's Earth (2008).

Gli Spirogyra, originariamente formati da Martin Cockerham e Mark Francis, furono una delle band del tardo folk revival inglese che abbracciava il rock progressivo e la psichedelia.
St Radigunds (B&C, 1971) fu un lavoro innovativo, con Barbara Gaskin alla voce, Julian Cusack al violino, Martin Cockerham alla chitarra e Tony Cox alle tastiere elettroniche. Old Boot Wine (B&C, 1972) e Bells, Boots And Shambles (B&C, 1973) furono leggermente meno creativi, sebbene le trame sonore diventassero più corpose (violoncello, flauto) e piu` jazz.
Gaskin continuò la propria carriera e formo` un duo con Dave Stewart.
Gli Spirogyra tornarono dopo una pausa di tre decenni con Children's Earth (2008).
