3 unusual facts about String Driven Thing


String Driven Thing

Singer Kim Beacon, guitarist Andy Roberts and bassist James Exel joined the band, with Roberts and Exel collaborating for much of the songwriting, including the single "Cruel To Fool" produced by Shel Talmy.

After paying their dues on the Scottish folk circuit they put out a self-titled album on the independent Concord label (copies of which are collectable and difficult to find) although a long way from their later Charisma label output.

With their departure the band disintegrated, but Charisma recruited three musicians to continue touring with Smith and Fairley.
