Espers: III

In the time since I first heard Espers and shrugged them off as twee folksy flouncers Ihave experienced a sudden connection with the late sixties throughearly seventies British folk-rock that so many link this band to. Richard & Linda Thompson, Fairport, Sandy Denny, Fotheringay… Okay,so my remit is still pretty narrow, circling around a handful ofmusicians who were certainly not the be all and end all of my ancestralfolk-rock, but the fact remains that a genre I once thought ridiculoushas become a staple of my listening.
