Five Day Rain

about

Five Day Rain were The Factory / Fleur de Lys connected early 1970s UK psych monster with all the right moves. Sounds like the aforementioned bands with dash of Ogden's period Small Faces. Great guitar work particularly on the long trippy instumental "Rough Cut Marmalade". Graham Maitland had earlier been in Scots Of St James and Hopscotch. He was also in The Fleur de Lys in their final days. The album contained some adventurous pop compositions often with a taint of psychedelia but it was eventually put out as a private pressing in a plain white cover because no label was interested in it. Notable cuts are the 11-minute instrumental Rough Cut Marmalade, which is the album's most psychedelic offering; the catchy Sea Song and keyboard driven Leave It At That. The CD reissue omitted Too Much Of Nothing and tampered with Marie's A Woman. Graham Maitland was later in Glencoe but the other members quit the music business. South African Sharon Tandy had already paid her dues with the psyche Fleur De Lys. Five Day Rain's first drizzle started with In Crowd keyboardist Graham Maitland who originated from Scots Of St. James headed by Allen Gorrie of The Vikings. Graham's initial plan was to form a keyboard dominated Prog band front lined by the sultry Sharon after watching her exhilarating live performances. Around 1966 Scots Of St. James evolved into Hopscotch and put out' two singles "Look At The Lights" and "Long Black Veil" resulting in a name change to Forever More. During th
