LITTLE ACRE - Takin' Me Away / Gimme Your Love (Birds Nest 1979)
A late hard glam rockin' number by Dudley' s Little Acre. Active from 1975 this self-described "high-energy funk band" released four singles and one LP that never saw the light of day before breaking up at the end of 1979. Produced at the Old Smithy for the Bird Nest Records. UK issue.
I seem to remember rumours of a late 70's single by Little Acre that "reputedly" featured Robert Plant??????
ReplyDeleteThey played at the Hope and Anchor London a few times and from what I remember Robert Plant had a connection with them, he was usually there when they were.
ReplyDeleteCracking band.
ReplyDeleteSaw them at the 76 Club, Burton-on-Trent. Late '77 I reckon.
yes they played Hope and Anchor Dingwalls and many other London venues.Two girl singers in 76
ReplyDeleteFab live act caught at Barbarellas many times in Birmingham great gigs full of energy where are they all?
I saw them at Nashville rooms North End Road and Golden Lion Fulham in mid seventies crazy energy 2 cracking birds and loads of guys in early days then line up changed and was never the same again great guitars and bass and sax player wonder what theyre all doing now? Happy Days
ReplyDeleteJust go on facebook most of the members now have a facebook page x
ReplyDeleteI was actually listening to the other 7" they did called "The Perfect Crime" last night, it sounded really good. I bump into Elma now and again, I also used to Engineer for his later band Shark Attack. Shame they never did the album but I understand they were quite disorganised!
ReplyDeleteGreat blue eyed soul funk band caught their act in Hope & Anchor Golden Lion and at BJ,s in Dudley booked them for 2 sell out concerts at Soton Uni great bunch of people
