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.
