Amazing Blondel are an English acoustic progressive folk band, containing Eddie Baird, John Gladwin, and Terry Wincott. They released a number of LPs for Island Records in the early 1970s. They are sometimes categorised as psychedelic folk or as medieval folk rock, but their music was much more a reinvention of Renaissance music, based around the use of period instruments such as lutes and recorders.
Evensong was the second album released by the band Amazing Blondel. It featured the style of music which they described as “pseudo-Elizabethan/Classical acoustic music sung with British accents”.
