A few years
into the British folk-rock boom, came along a band called the TREES,
that got slagged off by the mindless British weekly press as FAIRPORT
CONVENTION sound-alike. If those so-called journalist had actually
listened, they might have seen their mistake as the TREES were a lot
more like the fantastically fabulous The PENTANGLE but only even more
progressive. True the dual guitarist and female singer was a sort of
blueprint (almost cliché) for bands of those days into folk-rock, but
here the musical interplay got uncommon space to develop and the numbers
frequently grew longer in time, something rare in the genre and only
followed by COMUS. But that SMBWMP (stupid mindless British weekly music
press) would keep on deriding this band that folded after two excellent
but unsuccessful albums. Line-up / Musicians Celia Humphris/vocals,keyboards Bias Boshell/bass,guitar,vocals Barry Clarke/guitar David Costa/guitar Unwin Brown/drums Discography(Album) The Garden of Jane Delawney 1970
