Biography

The Third Ear Band were one of the most challenging and distinctive bands to emerge from the UK underground music scene in the late 1960’s. Championed by DJ John Peel, their music is characterised by improvised and sometimes atonal improvisations on tabla, oboe, violin and cello.

The band was formed from the ashes of the psychedelic group Hydrogen Jukebox in 1968 by Glen Sweeney (tabla/percussion). Signed to the fledgling Harvest Records, they recorded 3 albums:

Alchemy (1969)
Third Ear Band (aka Elements) (1970)
