Talk:The Albion Band

Past Members
I'm sure it's good to have a correct full list of past members, but do we really need to be told twice? Martinevans123 (talk) 16:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

No we don't, and we dont need so many names either.

Please resist the tempation to put every single person who ever appeared on stage with Hutchings, onto this page. And if you do add a name, please check that it is sensible. In particular:
 * Phil Pickett has an article, under the name Philip Pickett
 * Michael Gregory, the mass murderer, was, thankfully, never in the band
 * Cricketer Trevor Foster was never in the band
 * Neill Marshall, film director, was never in the band. Ogg (talk) 16:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Have removed the obvious links to the wrong person. I am unsure about the entire list, but then again it is possible someone will look in just this kind of place for it and it might help create or improve biographies. --Sabrebd (talk) 00:24, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Discography
I've made a start, concentrating on studio albums only, but it's not exhaustive. Yorkist (talk) 00:34, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to make this comprehensive, but there are so many in such odd places that I probably missed some. I have not included non-Albion projects of Hutchings, as these should go in his article. --Sabrebd (talk) 00:25, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Name of the Rose
They were The Albion Country Band really for only one album and it is not even clear that they were really the same band (no continuity of personnel). They were clearly the Albion Band for thirty-two years. As I have been going through the English Folk, Electric/Folk Rock articles I found they are very rarely called anything but the Albion Band. Clearly this page should be moved to Albion Band and Albion Country Band should redirect there. --Sabrebd (talk) 16:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:49, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

The Albion Country Band → — New title is much more common: current title of article was only used for a short time along with other names. The Albion Band has been the name for over thirty years. This is a much more likely search.''' SabreBD  (talk ) 06:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Wolfe
So "the reputation of the album has since been marred"? Is that a supportable fact? There may well have been plagiarism of a song by Stan Rogers. But the source for this claim is: Garnet Rogers, Night Drive: Travels with My Brother (Brampton, ON: Tickle Shore Publishing, 2016), pp 400-401. I don't have a copy to hand, but that's just two pages in a book by Rogers' brother? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:29, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Lol Coxhill
As far as I can see, Lol Coxhill played on one track on "No Roses" - does that really make him a member ? -- Beardo (talk) 17:23, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. The Albion Band were a very friendly bunch. Yes, it was on Shirley Collins' 1971 No Roses (a truly wonderful album, by the way), and only on the track "Claudy Banks" (although it was a composed duo performance by him and Alan Cave on bassoon). The entire glorious 30 seconds are here. But curiously this is not mentioned at all in the Lol Coxhill article. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2021 (UTC) p.s. there is a sax reprise at the end "lol"
