The Blue Orchids - Peel Session - 17/04/1982

The Blue Orchids - Peel Session - 17/04/1982

Recorded after their stint as Nico's backing band, the second Peel Session from the Blue Orchids and they've come a long, long way from their first. Part of the Blue Orchids charm was based on their ramshackle nature on records, but they've really tightened up here without losing anything. No Looking Back here has never sounded more epic. We got a further EP in 82 (Agents of Change) and then the Blue Orchids were no more. Well, this version of the band at least. There was, thankfully, more to come....

Just noticed in the comments that Martin Bramah has a new band with a new album, which you can get HERE

And yes, I do really need to check my comments more often.
