Spirogyra were a British folk rock/prog band that released three albums between 1971 and 1973. The group's most well-known members are co-founder, songwriter, and guitarist Martin Cockerham and singer Barbara Gaskin.^[1] Their sound has been described as "whimsically English"^[1] and their third album, Bells, Boots and Shambles, has come to be regarded as "a lost masterpiece".^[2] A later incarnation of the band was formed in the early 2000s, with further studio albums in 2009 and 2011. The band conclusively ceased to exist with Martin Cockerham's 2018 death.
