Forest was a British psychedelic folk rock band, active from 1968 to 1970. Forest was a late 60’s minstrel/medieval type of folk-prog trio in the style of The Incredible String Band, Fairport Convention and Dr. Strangely Strange. Originally called The Foresters Of Walesby the band abreviated their name to Forest and were fortunate enough to meet John Peel at alocal gig and he encouraged them to play in London. After a triumphant gig in Notting Hill’s All Saints Hall at Christmastime 1968, Forest were offered amanagement deal with Blackhill Enterprises, home to amongst others, Pink Floyd and Roy Harper. It wasn’t long before offers of record contracts came their way and the band eventually signed to EMI’s nascent Harvest label. They released a couple of albums with dark but subtle acid lyrics, incorporating pipes, harmonium, harpsichord, mandolin, 12-string guitar and percussion to their sound. Their music doesn’t have the electricity normally associated with rock, yet it can’t be described as straight folk either, the lyrics being rather strange and the band’s approach being far too eclectic.
