A really great British group – one who are mostly acoustic, but hardly sound folksy at all – and who are only a trio, yet manage to come across with a much fuller sound than you might expect! It would be easy enough to link these guys with the acid folk scene of the time, but their phrasing is different and their vocals, even while harmonized, have a sense of darkness that sets them apart from the warmer tones of the Cali scene when in similar territory. The record almost feels more like some lost indie set from a decade later – touched with some of the melancholy of a Nikki Sudden album, but again with a different sort of phrasing – in ways that only further make it a standout set. Titles include "Clock Watcher", "Hard World", "People & Places", "Red Sun", "Lazy Day", "Newspaper Seller", "Brief Encounter", and "Songs Of Mine.
The only work of Peregrine, released in 1972. Steve Torrington, Chris Brighton, and Neil Bonner are all in charge of guitar and vocals, and they also use a 12-string guitar.The sound is a folk trio with only three guitars and beautiful harmonies. thing. It has a dark side that is irresistible for British folk lovers.The sad melody, refreshing harmonies, and three acoustic guitars are wonderful. The soft folk-pop songs are great, but the crunchy, trad-flavored songs are numbing. This is a dark folk masterpiece that reminds you of the sunlight filtering through the trees in a lake in the forest, or the forest at dusk just before darkness falls, as you feel when listening to rare British folk records.
