Spirogyra was formed by Martin Cockerham and Mark Francis in Bolton 1967-68

during the 'summer of love'

Their first gig was in 1968 at Bolton Octagon theatre.

When Martin went to University in Canterbury in 69

he expanded the band.

Spirogyra went on to record 5 albums.

Mark still appeared from time to time! He's featured on 'Old Boot Wine'

A fourth album - previously unreleased demos - 'Burn The Bridges'

was released in 2000.

The 5th album 'Swan Songs' may one day be released.

Martin and Mark have now reformed 'Spirogyra'.
