Fairfield Parlour

Fairfield Parlour

Fairfield Parlour were an English progressive rock band that recorded in the late 1960s into the early 1970s. After the psychedelic rock group Kaleidoscope moved further into progressive rock, and also to avoid confusion with the American group Kaleidoscope, they renamed themselves Fairfield Parlour. Both bands consisted of members Peter Daltrey (vocals, keyboards), Eddy Pumer (guitars), Steve Clark (bass, flute), and Dan Bridgman (drums).

The band released several singles and in 1970 one critically acclaimed full-length LP of '60s-influenced British pop psychedlia, "From Home to Home", which is considered a classic now. This was followed up by the recording of the rock opera "White Faced Lady" in 1970-71, which was shelved until 1991 when it was released under the name Kaleidoscope.

Trivia

* All tracks released by the band are Daltrey/Pumer compositions.
* The band released the "Let The World Wash In" / "Medieval Masquerade" single with the intent of having the former song be the theme song for the Isle of Wight Festival 1970. The single was released under the I Luv Wight band name, to keep the band's identity secret until their appearance at the festival. It was to be played non-stop during between acts, but that part of the agreement was not kept.
