about

Delivery reunited for a final concert they were booked into, a month after Steve had left & been replaced by Dave Sinclair and the name was changed to Hatfield and the North. Delivery played the opening slot for the Incredible String Band at the Paris Theatre, at 12 Lower Regent Street in central London.

The band had already performed twice as Hatfield:

"A final Delivery performance took place in November 1972 for the BBC's Radio One In Concert series, with an unusual line-up bringing together the Miller brothers, Pyle, Babbington, Coxhill, and Sinclair (who provided only vocals)."

The Paris Studios in Lower Regent Street London were in use by BBC Radio from 1946 to 1995, and were the recording venue for some famous programmes. The theatre was originally the Paris Cinema, which opened in April 1939 to a design by Robert Cromie. Its name referred to its focus on French-language films; it didn't last long due to World War II when it was taken over by the government.

By 1946 it had been acquired by the BBC as a recording studio, where its small capacity and low stage gave it an intimacy ideal for recording comedy programmes; I'm Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, radio versions of Dad's Army, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy were all recorded here. The Paris Theatre also saw some notable live performances from The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Queen and Pink Floyd amongst others.

After the conversion of the Concert Hall at Broadcasting House to become the BBC Radio Theatre, the Paris Theatre closed in 1995 with a special commemorative concert.

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out. Robert Bloemkolk
