Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Led by singer-songwriter Roy Webber, Wally came out of Harrogate, Yorkshire in the early 70s. In 1973, after playing the northern pub rock circuit that included venues in Manchester, Harrogate, Leeds and Bradford, they entered a New Act competition organised by the music paper Melody Maker making it to the finals at London''s Roundhouse. They did not win - that honour went to a Prog Rock band named Druid - but they caught the eye of one of the judges, "Whispering" Bob Harris of The Old Grey Whistle Test fame.Their "runners-up" prize was the chance to record a session for Harris''s BBC radio show, "The Monday Program". He took the band under his wing and set-up a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Their debut album, Wally, released in 1974 was co-produced by Harris along with keyboard virtuoso Rick Wakeman who had seen one of the band''s warm up gigs before the Roundhouse final.
