Tea And Symphony – Terror In My Soul

1969

UK (Birmingham) Acid Folk band that started as a trio in 1968 and recorded this their first album in 1969 “An Asylum For The Musically Insane” which was on the EMI imprint Harvest Records. During the same period they toured with Bakerloo.

Given high kudos by the sixties UK music press who called it Science Fiction Acid-Folk or a mix of Tyrannosaurus Rex, Third Ear Band and Scaffold gone mad (I kid you not)

The band folded in 1972 but for those there at the time (legendary Mothers venue, August 1968) combining classical, blues and folk influences with surreal humour and with theatre in the mix, they are fondly remembered.
