Album reviews with Kevin Bryan, Tony Burke and Mik Sabiers
Latest releases from Ben Bedford, Kirk Fletcher, Dream Wife, Brian Protheroe, Bobby Rush, Adeline, Charley Crockett, review and Son of Davy
Brian Protheroe
The Albums 1974-76
(Cherry Red)
★★★
THE MULTI-TALENTED Brian Protheroe is probably best known to ardent culture vultures these days for his acting contributions to TV soap operas such as The Bill and Eastenders.
But those with very long memories may well recall his three-year exposure to the vagaries of the music business during the 1970s.
This brief flirtation yielded a minor singles success in the shape of the quirkily memorable Pinball, alongside the three excellent albums that he recorded for the Chrysalis label during this period.
Protheroe’s collected works have been brought together here by the good people at Cherry Red to create this highly listenable three-CD set, showcasing gems such as his beguiling adaptation of Shakespeare’s Under The Greenwood Tree, featuring noteworthy guest appearances from two of Brian’s high-profile Chrysalis stablemates in the shape of Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson and Barriemore Barlow.

Brian Protheroe with Ian Anderson and Barrie Barlow with
"Under The Greenwood Tree" from the album I/You.
Under the greenwood tree,
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet birds throat
Come hither come hither come hither
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather
Who doth ambition shun
And loves to live in the sun
Seeking the food he eats
And pleased with what he gets,
Come hither come hither, come hither
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather
Come hither come hither, come hither
If it do come to pass
That any man turn ass
Leaving his wealth and ease,
A stubborn will to please
Ducdame, ducdame, ducdame, **
Here shall he see
Gross fools as he,
And if he will come to me.
William Shakespeare
** An invocation to call fools into a circle (according to Jaques) (2.6.49)
