Biography

At the time ‘Rebirth’ was recorded back in 1975, Consortium were one of the hardest working groups on the circuit. A popular attraction at the packed London venues of this period, the group consisted of experienced musicians who had been familiar faces on the scene for close on a decade playing with various other bands and recording countless sessions. With the onset of the Punk era the band became disillusioned with the music business and so along with the disappointment of being let down by RCA, the album was shelved. At last, just over 30 years later ‘Rebirth’ is reborn… Rebirth is available through Angel Air Records at Amazon and all good record shops.

Consortium evolved from a mutual admiration of each others musical ability over a series of years from the mid sixties to the bands decision to “come off the road” in 1980.

Brian Parker had, through his teenage years worked with various groups and gained a reputation as a superb technician on guitar and soon became in demand as a session player working at many London studios, including the legendary Joe Meek’s. He recorded on many chart hits including with Honeybus.

John Parker (Brians younger brother) played with underground group Arcadium (on the Middle Earth label) who were arguably the founders of psychadelic music and who to this day have a huge cult following. His dynamic drumming skills were in great demand by recording studios and he worked with many known artists, including David Bowie.
