NHT106: SKY – Carillon
Hi,
Welcome to this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.
UK-Australian unit SKY was a bit of an anomaly when they launched themselves onto the world in late 1970’s.
Here was a group consisting of members from the crème dela crème of the musical world. Essentially all virtuoso’s on their instruments, joining together to present their own take on pop music.
As a result, they did receive a fair degree of criticism simultaneously from classical musical purists as well as the street-cred crowd.
However, at the same time they attracted a mass of fans from far and wide. It is arguable if we will ever see the likes of a band like SKY again.
I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.
Cheers, Andrew Muecke

Thanks very much for that Richard – I have to admit to being blind to that from the very start! Great pick up and thanks again for sharing.

Short note, to assist people who may be searching for it, it’s called Carillon , not Carillion (just one i) from the old musical term for a peal of bells – in a later live performance, Sky did actually play it on bells and percussion, as an encore at their Drury Lane gig – it’s on YouTube)
