COMEDY OF ERRORS - "Fanfare & Fantasy"
COMEDY OF ERRORS formed nebulously in the wake of the neo prog revival, members coming from in and around the Glasgow area,Scotland. Not the most typical band of the prog scene at that time, their individual version of that genre did find a welcome among fans who were as fiercely loyal as their numbers were small. Dissatisfied with prevailing tastes of the times,the band became as bored with stupid simplicity as much as with contrived cleverness. Putting musical integrity ahead of commercial success, they would, at the time, still have sold their granny for a record deal. Various line up changes followed as did the music in different guises in a desperate attempt to be loved. Despite manfully gigging throughout Scotland,their appeal in true Tap tradition became,as they say, more 'selective'. 'Don't alienate the public' they were advised......'Yeah,otherwise we'd end up like Dimitri in La Condition Humaine' clearly casting aside the fondness for obscure literary references,courtesy of Mr Steve Martin.
