Raven in 1973

Raven recorded an album?s-worth of their own material, but failed to persuade any recording companies to invest in them.

Barry Ruffell tells us: "Raven petered out for various reasons in 1974 - mostly because it was one of those local outfits that did more rehearsing than gigging. Also, because the material was all original and not covers of standards, every time there was a change of personnel we had to start rehearsing from scratch again - all v. laborious - which is why Andy and I decided to call it quits later that year when we were offered a Sunday-night acoustic duo residency at the Spotted Cow in Angmering."
