Design was a British vocal group of the early 1970s and its members were Barry Alexander, Gabrielle Field, Kathy Manuell, Jeff Matthews, John Mulcahy-Morgan and Geoff Ramseyer.[1] Their musical style has been described as folk rock 'with intricate and appealing harmonies and an interesting psychedelic twist'[2] and 'sunshine harmony pop with a light hippy vibe'[3] and is now called sunshine pop.[4] Design released 13 singles and 5 albums in the UK and appeared on more than 50 television shows before they split up in 1976.[5]
Barry Alexander, Jeff Matthews and Geoff Ramseyer all played guitar in addition to singing, while Barry also played keyboards. Gabrielle Field occasionally played tenor recorder.
