Taken from The Tapestry of Delights - The Comprehensive Guide to British Music of the Beat, R&B, Psychedelic and Progressive Eras 1963-1976, Vernon Joynson ISBN 1 899855 04 1



A very daring, progressive, experimental, jazz-influenced group, typical of the period, dominated by the powerful keyboard work of Tim Hinkley.

Bernie Holland was later with Hummingbird, Humblebums, Stealer's Wheel, Joan Armatrading and many others. Pete Gavin has also played with Al Stewart, Long John Baldry and Albert Lee.

Tim Hinkley, over the last 30 years, has had a very rich, illustrious career, which includes Joan Armatrading, Beckett, Graham Bell, Boxer, Roger Chapman & Shortlist, David Coverdale, Dr. Feelgood, Chris Farlowe & Thunderbirds, Peter French, Mike Heron's Reputation, Humble Pie, Alexis Korner, Albert Lee, Henry McCullough, Snafu, Al Stewart, Thin Lizzy, Streetwalkers, Vinegar Joe, Whitesnake, Steve York's Carmelo Pardalis, and his own all-star band, Hinkley's Heroes.

And finally, Louis Cennamo has played with Colosseum, Renaissance, Steamhammer, Illusion and Armageddon.

Reviews
Power trio consisting of keyboards, guitar, and drums. This band is definitely for the guitar fan. Tasteful when they use acoustic guitar, jamming when they use the electric. Vocals are pleasant, definitely not harsh; most of the songs are instrumental, though. The primary lead instrument is the guitar, the keyboard taking on bass chores as well as contributing to the rhythm, but organ does get its chance to shine several places throughout. At times, you'll be reminded of Grand Funk Railroad, so I'd definitely recommend Jody Grind to fans of GFR. Put simply, this classic album (Far Canal is their only release that I know of) is a good band for those who like to boogie. Everyone reading this should give 'em a listen.
Also released is One Step On (69). It contains a superb version of Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black". -- Ryszard Ryzlak
