Wild Thyme were a Top Folk Band for many years, and their legacy lives on not just in the people but in their recordings. It was Elvyn Blomfield's idea. In 1976 she said to her husband John “We should form a band. It's got to be a good band, and we'll call it Wild Thyme.” They already knew Dave Brown, so they asked him if he knew a good bass player, and he suggested Bob Barrett, so those four were the original line-up — with Elvyn on guitar.
By the time Wild Thyme became well-known the line-up was John Blomfield on melodeon and percussion, Elvyn Blomfield on keyboard, Dave Brown on fiddle and Tina Brown on bass guitar.
