The Syndicate: Live At The Hopbine 1968 Vol. 1

This major release is an obvious coup in that it is a previously unavailable live performance from a lineup that never made a commercially available album. Taped at the legendary Hopbine pub in North Wembley by the enigmatic Ted Lyons. It plugs an aching gap in Hayes’ discography. Includes Louis Stewart on guitar, Ken Baldock on bass, and Spike Wells on drums, all musicians in their prime. Unusual direction with a pianoless quartet featuring guitar. With detailed sleeve notes by tenor saxophonist and Hayes biographer Simon Spillett.

LP - 180 Gram Heavyweight Vinyl.
