Artist Biography
After working with the legendary English folk-rock bands Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, Ashley Hutchings put together the Albion Band (sometimes known as Albion Country Band and Albion Dance Band) in a similar style. They were first gathered as the back-up band for British folksinger Shirley Collins's 1971 album, NO ROSES. The band recorded its own debut album in '73, but it wasn't released until '76. Over the years, the ever-changing personnel in the Albion Band has included a dizzying number of English folk-rock luminaries, including Richard and Linda Thompson, Martin Carthy, Shirley and Dolly Collins, Maddy Prior, and Martin Simpson, to name just a few.
