![Dando Shaft -《An Evening With Dando Shaft》[MP3!]](http://img.verycd.com/post_thumbs/0707/post-427672-1185888455_thumb.jpg) 专辑介绍: Dando Shaft,复杂的编曲,华美的吉他,从前卫性和艺术性都可以和FC,Pentangle相提并论的英国民谣乐队,吉他/主唱 Dave Cooper和Kevin Dempsey,曼陀林/小提琴Martin Jenkins,乐队录制了三张专辑后1972年解散,77年曾再度复出,可惜成绩并不理想 Forsaking electric instruments, Dando Shaft nevertheless radiated the same level of energy as electric British folk bands like Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. Driven by hand percussion and standup bass, the Coventry-based group created a sound marked by intricate patterns and complex textures.
Formed as a five piece group, Dando Shaft initially featured the melodic interplay of guitarist/vocalists Dave Cooper and Kevin Dempsey and mandolin/violin player and vocalist Martin Jenkins.
Releasing their debut album, An Evening With, in 1970, Dando Shaft added Leamington Spa-born vocalist Polly Bolton, who had previously sung with June Tabor, before recording their second album, Dando Shaft, in 1971. While Bolton added the influence of Bulgarian music, sales of the band's albums remained disappointing. After recording their third album, Lantaloon, in 1972, the group disbanded.
Following the demise of Dando Shaft, Jenkins went on to play with ex-Fairport Convention fiddler Dave Swarbrick in Whippersnapper, while Bolton embarked on a solo career. Although it reunited to record an album, Kingdom, in 1977, the album failed to deliver the hoped-for commercial breakthrough and the members of Dando Shaft went their separate ways.
