Quiver - Folk Psych Rock


Quiver was a British music group from the early 70s. The group was under contract with Warner Music Group and delivered two studio albums. Quiver was the rock section of Sutherland Brothers and Quiver; the Sutherland Brothers, Iain and Gavin, brought in the folk part. Merging was necessary because of a tour that Sutherland Brothers could hold with Elton John (the Yellow Brick Road tour). After the fusion of the bands more and more Quiver members left, but they ended up pretty well.

Quiver was formed round 1970 in Ladbroke Grove, London by Tim Renwick and Honk (bass) who'd formerly been with Junior's Eyes, together with Cal Batchelor. Honk soon departed and the line-up was completed by Pete Thomas (ex-Village) and John Wilson (formerly with Cochise) They were the first group to play at Rainbow Theatre in London (supporting The Who). 

Their first album, Quiver, was completed with help from great sax player Dick Parry. An excellent album, it contains killer guitar duels (as in the great 'Killer man'), outstanding bass playing, and tight ryhthm on drums.  

After their second release, in late 1973,  the whole band decided merging  with Sutherland Brothers, forming Sutherland Brothers and Quiver, but Cal Batchelor decided to leave.
