Knights Of The Occasional Table

Knights Of The Occasional Table were a South-east London electronic band, comprising Steve Radford, Nygel Packett, Andrew Cowen and vocalist Aquamanda. Their debut album, released in 1993, was initially released on their own label before being picked up by Club Dog. Its title - Knees Up Mother Earth - offered a big clue to their sound, wherein modern technological means (programmes, drum machines, samplers) were employed to deliver a primal beat with varied ethnic stylings. The Knights have not been as immediately successful as stylistic counterparts Fun-Da-Mental or Transglobal Underground, ensuring Steve and Andy continue their day-time jobs as psychiatric nurse and journalist for Stage And Television Today respectively.
