\t\t\t\tTudor Lodge – Golden threads from Morocco.<\/p>\n
Born in the year 1968, from the temporary union of John Stannard & Roger Stevens came the textured harmony and guitar of Tudor Lodge. Also to come on board was Lyndon Green who replaced Roger Stevens shortly after they met at the \u2018Windsor Folk Festival.\u2019 Thanks to the warm reception at the \u2018Cambridge Folk Festival\u2019 \u2018Tudor Lodge came to be with it\u2019s acoustic enchantment, name taken from a local pub. Tudor was also later joined in 1970 by ex Utopians vocalist \/ guitarist, pianist, flautist Ann Steuart from the Guardians of the Rainbow. Anne completed the wholesome quartet that would bewitch English hippies with their electric muse versions of Buffalo Springfield\u2019s \u201cExpecting to Fly\u201d, CSNY\u2019s \u201cHelplessly Hoping\u201d and Joni Mitchell\u2019s \u201cThe Gallery\u201d.<\/p>\n
The group would also feature their own originals while live performances closed with humorous renditions of Buddy Holly or Elvis. Tudor\u2019s more authentic display included the tranquil \u201cIt All Comes Back to Me\u201d, \u201cGolden Thread\u201d \/ \u201cSparkle in Your Eye\u201d, while their most shimmering display was the acoustic \u201cMorocco\u201d, a song written while on holiday near Tangier. The second set would reflect a more ornate expression harbouring intricate versions of Ralph McTell\u2019s \u201cKew Gardens\u201d or John Vaughn\u2019s \u201cSundown Waker\u201d. Lyndon would also cover Incredible String\u2019s instrumental \u201cHedgehog Song\u201d and John Sebastian\u2019s \u201cShe\u2019s A Lady\u201d. The group\u2019s entire placid product was largely the influence of guitarists Jansch & Renbourn which made it difficult to feature alongside their harder edged \u2018Vertigo\u2019 peers like Patto and Jade Warrior. Their debut featured Pentangle stalwarts Danny Thompson & Terry Cox, ex John Dankworth Orchestra saxophonist Tony Coe, while sessions spawned a range of Peter, Paul & Mary styled tracks like the single \u201cThe Lady\u2019s Changing Home\u201d and \u201cThe Good Times We Had\u201d.<\/p>\n
The group had a freshness which burned like sandalwood incense and its fragrance lingered long after. The group\u2019s 1972 debut reeled with a variety of influences like the S&G styled \u201cWould You Believe It\u201d and Joni Mitchell influenced \u201cTwo Steps Back\u201d. The Lodge actualization comes together on Stannard\u2019s \u201cHelp Me Find Myself\u201d with enough to water to wash you down, Jordan River style. Their exhaustive touring paid its toll on Anne in 1971 who was replaced by Linda Peters(illuminated Carole King\u2019s \u201cIts Going to Take Some Time\u201d) The debut also included Graham Lyons Bassoon, Fred Buxton cello, Sergei Bezkorvany violin & Strawbs guitarist Joe Partridge who later featured on Jeff Wayne\u2019s War Of The Worlds. Douglas Moore played horns on the heavenly \u201cWillow Tree\u201d, Anne flute on Stannard\u2019s pacifist \u201cI See a Man\u201d and Tir Na Nog\u2019s Sonny Condell bongos on \u201cRecollection\u201d. Mike Morgan saturated \u201cThe Lady\u2019s Changing Room\u201d with mouth watering wah wah.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
