Man I need to get any and all the Briar releases. Have about 6 different releases on cdr, but you know, the real deal would be best...

 

Found some cool vid's to show my appreciation of these guys.

Prisoner from BBC TV Ox­ford Road Show 1984 (the announcer says they're 17 years old! So musically mature for youngsters)

Is this the band that sung that 'Spirit of the woods' song? I've had a CDR forever and I can't recall if I liked much of it, but I did dig that song a lot.

Yep, same band. That song is on the Crown Of Thorns cd.

 

 

Yea I saw those Keef, I just meant compared to most bands.

 

 

Sure would like to know where are they know and such.

 

This band is just begging for a re-issue with all the singles and such they've done...Stormspell/Iordan get on this would ya'!

Briar were a great little band, I can't see the youtube links at work but I suspect that the TV performance is the song they always used to play at Jilly's rock club (R.I.P. ) here in Manchester back in the day.
