STAFFORD BRIDGE



The sextet Stafford Bridge was formed Sydney in the early 70s, releasing two singles in 1972 on the Infinity label. "Song for a Blind Man/Passing Lines" and ''Poor Soul/Welcome To The Court'' were both well executed, bringing in the typical mix of progressive and psychedelic rock. It's a shame this band didn't kick on because they had a load of potential. Stafford Bridge made the grand-final representing NSW Country in Hoadley's National Battle Of The Sounds. Vocalist Jim Willebrandt fronted a number of bands including Daisy Roots, Clapham Junction, Toby Jug and Hot Cottage.

    Man, I'd never heard of them before, and I was an enthusiastic follower of Australian music from the early 60's. The singles are pretty damn good. Perhaps their success and exposure was limited to Sydney?
