9:30 Fly for Prog Folk

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I recently found out about a band called 9:30 Fly to discover that it is not of progarchives. Although prog-related or eclectic prog could be fitting, prog folk cattegory would be the best in my opinion.

Anyway, 9:30 Fly were a short-lived progressive folk rock act, which managed to release only one self-titled album in 1972 before completely disappearing into the underground. The band consisted of Michael Wainwright (vocals), Barbara Wainwright (vocals, electric
piano), Lyn Oakey (guitar), Gary Charman (bass), and Mike Clark (drums). The band's only link with more famous acts is that they once played alongside The Velvet Underground in Malver Winter Gardens. 9:30 Fly's style is strongly rooted in folk rock, but has some interesting elements of blues rock on guitar parts and soul through the distinct Fender Rhodes electric piano sound. 

Lineup:
Michael Wainwright - Vocals
Barbara Wainwright - Vocasl, Electric Piano
Lyn Oakey - Guitars
Gary Charman - Bass
Mike Clark - Drums

	Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided.

	I have their City album......I always thought the name of the band was City and the album name was 9:30 Fly! Anyway, it's a decent folk-rock/prog album with nice vocals and a gentle feel. Not too far removed from what the Fairports and Steeleyes were doing at the time. In fact, the best comparison I'd make is to the band Trader Horn. Edited by Intruder - May 02 2016 at 13:38
	I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

	Suggested back in 2011: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82818&PID=4351436#4351436, and passed over to the Crossover team, who unanimously rejected it: http://progfreak.com/9:30-Fly-151119.html?path=pa/recent. Fairly unlikely to make the site in Prog Folk based on that, but you never know...Maybe someone from that team will take a listen and decide otherwise...but I doubt it really. Edit: It's prog according to eMusic: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=102668&PID=5298690#5298690. PS. I think the band Trader Horne had an 'e' at the end...
