One of the hardest-working progressive bands to end up languishing in relative abstruseness, Fruupp was begun in 1971 by guitar player Vince McCusker. After a brief melodic apprenticeship in London, McCusker returned to Belfast and speedily pulled together a group of mostly classically trained musicians; the lineup was unusual in that keyboardist Stephen Houston doubled on the hautboy. (The strange band name was taken from a Lectreset sheet.) The band's resulting sound is non unlike Spring or early Genesis, with primary composers McCusker and Houston playing as foils for each early: Houston's violoncello, hautboy, and violin typically lend dark common people textures at a lower place McCusker's aggressive guitar parts and Peter Farelly's Celtic-influenced vocals. After 2 age of gigging, they shopped their demonstration tapeline approximately and were picked up by Pye Records for their Dawn label. Between 1973 and 1975, Fruupp released quaternion albums, the last of which was produced by King Crimson ammonium alum Ian McDonald; the band as well toured in funding of Crimson. Despite playing hundreds of gigs per year throughout the U.K. and Europe during this period, their record gross sales never quite took off, and the band closed in up patronise after a last London gig at the Roundhouse in 1976.

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been voted Britain's top Anti-Icon.
Readers of men's magazine Arena compiled a list of "witless" male celebrities who least deserve their place in the spotlight.
Fielder-Civil - currently on remand in Pentonville Prison awaiting trial - headed the Top 10.
Second on the list was Banksy, the graffiti artist who counts Angelina Jolie and Jude Law among his fans.
England and Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard was third, accused of "failing the country" with his lacklustre display in the Euro 2008 qualifiers.
Falsetto-voiced singer Mika was fourth, followed by daytime TV host Jeremy Kyle.
Peter Andre was sixth for forming "half of Britain's most over-exposed couple" with glamour model wife Jordan, and ex-'Big Brother' housemate Ziggy was seventh. Pop star Prince was eighth.
TV presenting duo Ant and Dec were ninth and 'Top Gear's Richard Hammond was 10th.
