Heron(2)

:(This page refers to the folk rock group. For the Mike Heron band of the same name, see Heron).
Heron are an English folk-rock band who released two albums in the early 1970s and have continued to perform since reforming in the 1990s. The band had its origins in 1967 at the Dolphin Folk Club in Maidenhead, Berkshire, where Tony Pook (vocals), Roy Apps (guitar, vocals), and Robert Collins (guitar) played together, inspired by Bob Dylan and The Incredible String Band. They are not to be confused with another 70's act also called Heron, who were headed by Mike Heron.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played material from the group in the early 70's including a live performance they did for the Sunday Show that was broadcast on 20 June 1971. The last time Peel revisited the group was in 1995 when he played a track from their their track, Big A, which came from their 1971 double album for Dawn Records, Twice As Nice & Half The Price. They had little success during their active career but became collectors' favourites in later decades.
Personnel on their album included fellow Dawn artist Mike Cooper and guitarist Gerald Moore, who later moved into reggae, forming G.T. Moore and his Reggae Guitars. This was a popular live act who did a Radio 1 In Concert in July 1975 - Peel played a track by them before a Heron track on his show of 08 September 1995.
