FUCHSIA - The Nothing Song

Fuchsia was a British progressive folk rock band formed in 1970. Named after Fuchsia Groan they released one album before disbanding. Their self titled album was featured as one of Mojo's Forgotten Classics. Their style was similar to their contemporaries Jade and Comus. The band was formed by Tony Durant (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, lead vocals), while a student at Exeter University, and comprised Michael Day (bass guitar), Michael Gregory (drums, percussion). The trio was soon augmented by Janet Rogers (violin, backing vocals), Madeleine Bland (cello, piano, harmonium, backing vocals) and Vanessa Hall-Smith (violin, backing vocals) so that Durant could explore his musical ideas. The most obvious influence is British folk-rock but there are some rock and progressive touches. The vocals are pretty good, as is the mostly acousitc guitar playing. "A Tiny Book" has a very good march-like bass and drum rhythm with more trademark strings thrown. "The Nothing Song" utilizes what sounds like a cello. "Just Anyone" has a very Barrett-esque sound with some weird string effects. "Me and My Kite" is a nice short pop song.
