Three & Four Pullovers (1975-8) by Three & Four Pullovers | Steve Beresford, Nigel Coombes, Roger Smith & Terry Day, originally released on Quartz-Mirliton Cassettes in 1977 as Three Pullovers and re-released by Emanem in 2000.

Excerpts from sleeve notes:

“To very much simplify, it’s a cross between an SME tiny-elements-interlocking-thing and an AMM landscape.”

STEVE BERESFORD (1977)

The Four Pullovers was a somewhat occasional group that lasted from around 1974 to 1978. At times, Terry Day was unavailable, so the group became Three Pullovers, as on the first session heard here. This very fine 1975 trio session is heard complete.

This year I decided to compose some children's songs for small children, in the folksong style. I also made new arrangements for some of the classic children's songs I remember singing to children.
Yesterday my album of children's songs was published on the various streaming music streaming channels - Spotify, Apple Music etc.

If you have small children or grandchildren they might enjoy it?
