Gordon Giltrap - Peacock Party: Remastered & Expanded Edition

Digitally remastered edition of this classic 1979 album. For over 40 years Gordon has enjoyed the well-deserved reputation as one of Britain's greatest guitar players. He made his first recordings in the 1960s as Folk artist, but by late 70s he had crossed into the Progressive Rock genre. In 1979 the album THE PEACOCK PARTY was released on the PVK label. The tunes by Gordon are based on characters from the book the Peacock Party written by George E Ryder and illustrated by Alan Aldridge. This was a sequel to the somewhat better known BUTTERFLY BALL AND THE GRASSHOPPER'S FEAST. THE PEACOCK PARTY saw Gordon backed by a band of outstanding musicians such as John G. Perry (bass), Rod Edwards (keyboards), Rick Sanders (violin) and Ian Mosley (drums) and featured many outstanding tracks.
