I love Audience too.. I don't think Werth's Voice is everyones cup of tea but I really like it and the fact that he only ever played an amplified nylon string guitar and never succumbed to steel strings or electric guitars.. well not in Audience, anyway..

I quite dig the Howard Werth and the Moonbeams lp 'King brilliant'!
It took me awhile to get used to the sound of Howard Werth's nasal twang too, but I love it now. Smile
 
On the subject of The Doors, how about The Doors of the 21st Century, where Jim Morrison's spirit is still alive and kickin' in this amazing concert performance.

Audience were a great band who completely passed me by in the 1970's, so I should have paid more attention to the Old Grey Whistle Test. Smile

Great, cheers PaulClap! 2 tracks from their last lp 'Lunch'.. good to see Nicky Judd on Piano but i think Keith Gemmell had possibly jumped ship by then (i think he joined Stackridge..) so i guess thats Bobby Keys on Tenor Sax. I think overall Audience suffered the same fate as Family and Stackridge; however much they tried, promoters and producers just couldnt pigeon-hole them.. they really were unique sounding and refused to be classified and as such were rather a 'Marmite' act. Personally i think Howard werth had one of the best voices in English 1970's rock (but then i think Roger Chapman is one of the best vocalists this country produced too)

^ Cheers! I've always thought the band deserved a wider Audience. Smile
