Balster, Friend & Lloyd
The Ffg Sessions (+cd)
The people on this album also recorded the iconic 1974 album 'Dreaming Again' by Stonefield Tramp. "During the years 2005-2007, when Rob was working on his 'reunion' album with Stonefield Tramp, and as hard as we tried (and we really did pull out all the stops!), we failed to locate fellow band member Dave Lloyd. However, in 2017, I received an email from Dave who had finally, after some 40 odd years, Googled Stonefield Tramp and discovered my website. It was lovely to be back in touch with him again, and a very warmly received reunion took place during that Summer at my local watering hole, The Three Horseshoes pub, in the village of Norton, just outside Letchworth. Rob even flew in from the U.S.A. for this very special event! As I was still in the process of recovering from my, fairly recent, motor bike crash, and feared that I would never be able to play my guitar again, I asked Dave if he would like to collaborate with me as a song writer, his music and my lyrics? He gladly accepted the offer and this album is the first fruit of our labours, with enough spare songs written for at least two more in the near future! It has to be clearly stated that Dave's expertise, on the instrument guitar, is several notches above my humble aspirations. It is always good to raise the bar a little!" ~Terry Friend - Letchworth, Hertfordshire, England, November 2019.
