SOFFROK


Soffrok was a Sydney three-piece band that played in the early 70s. The lineup was Rick Turk on vocals and keyboards, Jeremy Paul on bass and John Proud on drums. The band started off by being the backing group for a singer who had a recording contract with Alberts/EMI. Impressed with the band the label signed them up as well. The band recorded five of Rick Turk's songs and one, ''Set Me Free'', actually made it to #40 on the Sydney charts. The single was produced by Simon Napier-Bell. The group disbanded after only two years. Rick Turk then went on to become a TV theme composer, some of his credits are: Perfect Match – 1983 Family Feud – 1989 Four Corners - 1982 Gardening Australia - 1987 Foreign Correspondent - 1991.
