AMAZING BLONDEL es una banda inglesa de folk progresivo acústico, compuesta por Eddie Baird, John Gladwin y Terry Wincott. Lanzaron una serie de discos de vinilo para Island Records en la década de 1970. A veces se los clasifica como folk psicodélico o folk rock medieval, pero su música era más bien una reinvención de la música renacentista, basada en el uso de instrumentos de la época, tales como el laúd y la flauta dulce.
John Gladwin y Terry Wincott habían tocado juntos en una banda eléctrica llamada Methuselah.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
