Mr Fox was a folk rock band which Carole Pegg and I formed in 1970. We made two LPs for Transatlantic Records. Originally a six piece - with woodwind and cello - we cut down to four; on the left in the photo Alan Eden (drums) and Barry Lyons (bass). Our music was inspired by the bands that used to play for the Yorkshire Dales village dances in the early 20th century. Carole played raw country fiddle, I played wind and keyboards. We wrote our own songs. Mr Fox was feted by the Guardian, and shot at in Manchester. Our first gig was in the Royal Festival Hall, and our best the Lakeland Lounge in Accrington.
