Guest: Fuchsia bandleader Tony Durant.
Exeter University, 1971. Hearing classical music played in lunchtime concerts sparks a creative idea for a young student who decides "I can do that!". Corralling 5 classmates, they help develop his uniquely written songs melding rock with classical instrumentation. Together they record a brilliant album that goes completely unnoticed. Without an opportunity to record a follow up, the band split and the album is forgotten...until 40 years later when it makes a suprise comeback re-igniting the career of their songwriter and bandleader, kickstarting an unlikely "Act II" of the Fuchsia story.
A fantastic interview with Tony Durant who helps tell the story of this amazing album. I hope you dig Fuchsia as much as I do.

*ERRORS AND OMISSIONS: Tony wanted to ensure that songwriting credit for the song "Me And My Kite" was properly given to Bob Chudley, this was not mentioned in the epysode.
