Title: Shape of the Rain Reforming
Post by: Pete on April 19, 2012, 03:41:28 PM

Does any of the seniors on here remember Shape of the Rain? They were a local band who got a recording deal in the late 60s early 70s.

Anyway I saw a Tweet today by Ellie Hunter, with a link to one of their songs on YouTube, for anyone that's interested. Apparently Ms Hunter is writing an article about them and states that they are reformin.

I remember seeing them at the Barrow Hill hotel, around 1969 I think it was - good band. A lot of my mates had the Riley, Riley, Wood and Waggett album - but I was more into Hendrix...

Hendrix - ok but not my thing. Didn't mind Dylan but my favourites were the fab four  8)

One of Dave McPhies groups (or as we knew him Jock Macpie).
They were the first group I ever saw with a bottle neck slide guitar.
If they are coming back I reckon Harry Greibson String Band should come back as well.
Oh, shit, that means money as I haven't got a drum kit anymore.
