Any fans here?

For the uninitiated, a 70s prog/mediaeval/renaissance music combo. Truly unique!

Probably the only time bassoon, harpsichord, recorder and crumhorns have been combined with electric guitars and drums

Remember them well.
Especially the solo 'duet' for recorder and penny whistle of the Captain Pugwash theme that ended many live sets. Richard Harvey wasn't it?

That's right - at least 2 of them were Royal College of Music graduates. I think Richard Harvey has done some film soundtracks since.
