Many connections they would have with The Beatles began in After signing a deal with The Beatles' Apple label their first single was the UK number four hit 'Come And Get It' which Paul Mc. Cartney wrote about financial wranglings inside the Apple organisation.
It was subsequently reissued in 1. They moved from Apple to Warner Bros following their manager's successful negotiation of a multi- million pound deal. The band released 'ASS' & 'The Badfinger Album' soon thereafter. Things then began a downward spiral as the full extent of their inexplicable financial position became clear and personal tensions came to the fore.
The next Warner's album 'Head First' was never released. In early 1. 97. 5 Badfinger's contract with Warner Bros was terminated and on Wednesday 2.
April 1. 97. 5, in despair at the turmoil within and around the band, Pete Ham hanged himself in his garage at home in London. A suicide note blamed the band's business manager Stan Polley. Evans & Molland rebuilt the band in 1.
Tony Kaye from Yes (Keyboards) and Peter Clarke (the drummer from Stealers Wheel) resulting in two albums, 'Airwaves' and 'Say No More' in 1. Soon thereafter Evans and Molland left following angry disagreements the same year, and for two years, two bands, both called Badfinger competed for attention. Unbelievably, tragedy was not finished with them as, on Saturday 1.
November 1. 98. 3 there was a heated argument on the telephone between Molland & Evans, reportedly about the division of publishing royalties for 'Without You'. Later that same day, Evans too hanged himself in his garden, eight years and seven months after Pete Ham! Molland, Gibbins and Jackson reformed to play some U. S. Joey Molland still tours in the U. S. Aly Bain MBE) is Scotland's supreme traditional style fiddler. His playing is unique - driving, impassioned and pure - with vibrant, unmistakable tone that has earned him a following of ardent fans throughout the world.
Born in Lerwick, Shetland in 1. Aly began playing the fiddle at the age of eleven. In his early twenties, Aly headed to mainland Scotland. His dramatic playing, with great tone and technical ability brought early recognition as an outstanding musician of the folk music revival, and almost overnight, raised the level of expectation for music lovers throughout the country. To quote Billy Connolly of these early days, 'I had never heard the clarity of tone or the beauty. Simultaneously, Aly pursued a solo career in collaborative and television projects.
In addition to his solo albums he has appeared on albums by 'Hue and Cry', Eddie Reader, Richard Thomson and 'Fish'. Although Aly's musical base is in Scotland his extensive travels have led to an appreciation and mastery of many kinds of music. He has applied this knowledge to the production of several networked television series bringing traditional music to a constantly widening audience, including the renowned series 'Down Home', which has now reached almost cult statusacross America, the internationally famous 'Shetland Sessions' and 'Transatlantic Sessions 1 & 2.' The Transatlantic format was revived, with great success, at this year's Celtic Connections Festival, Aly co- producing with Jerry Douglas. Aly's collaboration with Norwegian composer Henning Sommero and the Scottish Ensemble saw the release of the widely acclaimed album 'Follow the Moonstone'. His most recent collaboration with Swedish multi- instrumentalist Ale Moller, created the album 'Fully Rigged'- a celebration of shared Nordic heritage.
Aly has received many honours for his services to music, including four Doctorates and an M. B. E., and numerous Honorary Citizenships in the USA. He continues to be an ambassador for Scotland abroad and a powerful advocate for traditional music. His teaming up, star collision, with brilliant accordionist/composer Phil Cunningham has added yet another dimension of appreciation for audiences everywhere. While the cliquey purists ? Tell me.
