Following the Autumn 2002 tour the line-up of The Albion
Band broke up. This was as a result of the shrinking number of gigs available
to the band. This made it difficult for members to commit themselves full time
to the group. Consequently, there are no current plans to continue with the
band. With a glorious history stretching back over twenty years The Albion Band has been a showcase for some of the finest
folk musicians in the land. Past members include Phil Beer, Martin Carthy, Shirley Collins, John Kirkpatrick, Chris Leslie,
Cathy Lesurf, Dave Mattacks,
Julie Matthews, Simon Nicol, Ric
Sanders, John Tams, Richard Thompson and Chris While. The
Albion Band remained true to its roots in the
English tradition and true to its reputation for classic contemporary Folk
Rock. If you wish to obtain any
