Ginhouse - Anyone know about them? Newcastle Band ffrom 1971,

[Sand Dancin Donkey Walker]

Hi Guys

Have been to London over the weekend, and had a great time.
Picked up this LP, Ginhouse.
I feel I have seen them years ago. But I would have been a touch too young by a couple of years.
Anyone know anything about this band, not had chance to play the LP yet as I arrived home and have been straight back to work.

Geoff Sharkey, the guitarist still does the odd gig I think, Andy. He was in Strapps, who you may have heard of.

Hi Chris

Interesting link, I seem to know the name Geoff Sharkley, but again unsure. Though I have heard of Strapps.
Hi Andr'e My LP is on the Akama label. It appears to be an unofficial 2007 release.
Bought it from Sister Ray, and I am fairly sure I have seen another same LP there. Might be worth checking it out to see if it is the B&C label version.
Will be checking out the Geoff Sharkley link better over the next few days (have 2 nights to do, then 17 days off)
Cheers for your info guys.

Cheers again,

Found the album on Deezer, and I'm trying to think who they remind me of. Somewhere between Jade Warrior and Gentle Giant, perhaps.

Hi Shane:

I can see where your coming from with the Jade Warrior thing but that's only the opening track really.. However i totally don't get where your coming from regarding Gentle Giant likeness!, they sounded more like a cross between Shuttah & Spontaneous Combustion imho...
