In 1983 (3
December), Gavin & Iain performed at a wedding reception in Stoke for a friend,
Chris Ellis, who played bass in Demon. Gavin had been involved in occasional
work, including recordings, with Demon around that time, so the reception
entertainment consisted of several people getting on stage from time to time and
jamming. As well as the two Suths, there were members of Demon and the great
contemporary folk singer, Michael Chapman.
And then in
1986, the last ever Sutherland Brothers
professional gig (unless
you know differently):
9/8/86 Cropredy Festival (the annual Fairport Convention
festival). Iain & Gavin appeared on the Saturday of this
festival, performing a few numbers as a duo, before being joined
by Jerry Donahue (guitar), Dave Pegg (bass) and Dave Mattacks (drums). |
