FRUUPP

Vince McCusker(guitar/vocals) was the mainstay of this 70s outfit from Belfast, Northern Ireland. With Steven Houston (keyboards/vocals, Peter Farrelly (bass/vocals) and Martin F0oye (drums), he recorded a debut album for Dawn Records, which defined the pomp-rock style with vaguely mystical overtones that sustained Fruupp on a five-year career around the European college circuit. During exploratory sessions for 1974's Seven Secrets, Houston was replaced by John Mason, Ian Mcdonald played saxophone on the following year's Modern Masquerades. Although respected as a compentent act, and the group were unable to climb to higher rungs on the progressive rock ladder before punk's levelling blow. Obliged to drastically reduce engagement fees, the inevitable cracks appeared and, by 1978, Fruupp was no more.

Albums: Ftuture Legends (1973), Prince Of Heavens Eyes (1974), Seven Secrets (1974), Modern Masquerades (1975).
