No coincidence that they took their name from Murder of Maria Marten on Shirley Collins and the Albion Band’s magnificent No Roses. On the verge of making it, the crew were fatally scuppered by an inability to bring anything new to the folk rock nostalgia party. See Trembling Bells for exactly how this is done.
