The
Albion Band, also known as The Albion Country Band, The Albion Dance
Band, and The Albion Christmas Band, is a British folk rock band,
originally brought together and led by musician Ashley Hutchings. An
important grouping in the genre, it has contained or been associated
with a large proportion of major English folk performers in its long and
fluid history.
The one constant in the band's history has been the
band leader Ashley Hutchings, founding member of two other English folk
rock groupings Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, and it has been
the home for most of the projects of his long career, though in the 2011
incarnation of the band he has handed over the reins to his son Blair
Dunlop. This version continued until 2014.
Hutchings continues to
perform in a separate Christmas-themed incarnation (occasionally
featuring Dunlop) The Albion Christmas Band that was first established
in 2005.
Initially Hutchings formed the band in April 1971 to
accompany his then wife the singer Shirley Collins on her No Roses
album. Dave Mattacks, Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol (from Fairport
Convention), Lal and Mike Waterson (of The Watersons) and Maddy Prior,
were among twenty five credited backing musicians. On a short tour, core
members were joined by Richard Thompson and his then wife Linda
Thompson. Several members contributed with Hutchings to the project
Morris On (1972), including John Kirkpatrick, Richard Thompson and Dave
Mattacks, and cumbersomely all their names appeared on the album cover.
