Spirogyra

Spirogyra were a British folk rock/prog band that released three albums between 1971 and 1973. The group’s most well-known members are co-founder, songwriter, and guitarist Martin Cockerham and singer Barbara Gaskin.^] Their sound has been described as “whimsically English” and their third album, Bells, Boots and Shambles, has come to be regarded as “a lost masterpiece”. A later incarnation of the band was formed in the early 2000s, with further studio albums in 2009 and 2011. The band conclusively ceased to exist with Martin Cockerham’s 2018 death. Spirogyra was originally formed as a duo by Martin Cockerham (vocals/guitar) and Mark Francis in Bolton, Lancashire in the summer of 1967. This original incarnation of the band produced no recordings, and ended when Cockerham left to attend the University of Kent at Canterbury.
