Berko's finest
Berko band win Melody Maker 1974 National Rock Contest with their hard-riffing progressive sound!
Cedric Sharpley went on to hit the sticks for Tubeway Army and Gary Numan solo

A great combination of Steve Howe-style guitar with Rick Wakeman-style keyboards, Chris Squire-style bass and Jon Anderson-style vocals.
Not terrible, but without a flicker of originality. The drumming is pretty good, though. A hint of Bark Psychosis in the slow bit.
And was Whispering Bob saying he had produced their album? Conflict of interest or what? Not everything about the BBC is worse than it used to be.
