Biography

The Benjamin Delaney Lion
Effective period / Period of releases: 1969
Members: Adrian Lewis (3), Roger Latham (5)
Band started by two students of the Wrekin Arts Society. They started playing in folk clubs (specifically the Ballads & Blues Club at the Adelphi pub in Wind Street, Swansea, run by the late Dave Yoxall), straight after the members had left school, likely in Jan/Feb 1970. In the summer of 1970, the Wrekin Arts Society granted money to band members and financed the recording of their only LP, Satori. It has become a rare artifact of psychedelic folk, and has sold for large sums of money in recent years.
