about
The Benjamin Delaney Lion was a British psych-folk duo comprising Adrian Lewis (born in Swansea in September 1952) and Roger Latham (born in Liverpool in April 1951). The duo self-released their only album, Satori, in 1969. Only 70 to 75 copies were issued at the time, but the album was re-issued in 2021 on CD and vinyl. Lewis and Latham were two students of the Wrekin Arts Society. They started playing in folk clubs (specifically the Ballads & Blues Club at the Adelphi pub in Wind Street, Swansea, run by the late Dave Yoxall), straight after the members had left school, likely in January or February 1970. In the summer of 1970, the Wrekin Arts Society granted money to band members and financed the recording of their only LP. The very limited original pressing has since become a rare artifact of psychedelic folk, and has sold for large sums of money in recent years.
