Looking Forward Thinking Back
"A cracker of an album"
Red Rose Country Radio
Looking Forward Thinking Back is a retrospective appreciation of a collection of songs that were written, performed and recorded in the early 1970’s.
​
The original recordings made at Chalk Farm Studios were thought to have been lost, but their rediscovery some 45 years later in 2017 has given the songs a second life.
