Have I ever heard of Barclay James Harvest? - voodoopenguin - 11-02-2009
...asked number one daughter in an email the other day. I really thought we had brought them up properly and was sure that at least one track was on our many car tapes I made for the long journeys when they were kids.
It appears they will be playing (two original members) locally so tomorrow I will be going with her. This incarnation is called John Lee's Barclay James Harvest and as long as they play Mocking Bird I will be very happy, it will be 38 years since I last saw them live. Claire Hamill is supporting.
Out of interest I did a search on this forum and BJH have only ever been mentioned once before and that was by me over a year ago.

First thought was a local brew!

Wow! Barclay James Harvest brings back memories from my college days, me spinning them on our low-wattage campus radio station.
I'll have to trudge downstairs and go through my record collection, and give them a listen.

I just played the intro's for their "Best of" on Amazon and did not really recognize any of them.
voodoopeguin, where would you rate them compared to Fairport Convention for both popularity and the era of largest album sales?

Not to highjack the thread but I saw the subject line and thought, "Who?"
I am always amazed when people talk about an old band and I have never heard of them and they look at me like I have green horns growing out of my head (I do know Fairport Convention). Lately I found "Deep Tracks" on Sirius and have heard bands I never knew.
There was a newer '80's band coming to town that friends were going to see called Erasure and I said, "Who?" My friend then dug out a dust covered CD saying, "When you hear this you'll remember." Never heard of a single song played from that disc... I wasn't much into the crap during the Disco period and the pop stuff from the '80's but when there's stuff from the '60's I don't recognize, well, I fall back on Robin Williams' favorite saying.
