The Blues Council were reckoned to be one of the best Scottish bands of their era, but they released only one single. This track is the B-side of Baby Don't Look Down.
This short career came about because in 1965 their van crashed while they were touring and their bass player and singer both died.
The bass player was James Giffen and the singer was Fraser Calder. He is no relation as far as I know, but I thought he should be remembered on this blog.
In 1972, when a member of Stone the Crows, the Blues Council's guitarist Les Harvey died on stage at the Top Rank Suite, Swansea, when he was electrocuted by a faulty microphone.
The Blues Council's drummer Henry Wright is still with us and has contributed to a website on the band's history and that era in Scottish music.
