SIREN
KEVIN COYNE, NICK CUDWORTH, MICK GRATTON,
TAT MEAGER, DAVE CLAGUE
Before beginning his career as a solo artist, Kevin Coyne was the centerpiece of Siren.
The group recorded two albums in the late '60s and early '70s for Dandelion, the British
underground-oriented indie run by DJ John Peel. The paths that Coyne would follow on his many
solo albums are much in evidence in Siren's work, which spotlight his pained, scraggly, and soulful vocals,
as well as his funny, sometimes bitter lyrics. Guitarist Dave Clague (who was once in the Bonzo Dog Band)
and pianist Nick Cudworth helped Coyne pen much of Siren's material,
and provided much of the low-key bluesy, folksy arrangements.
Despite plugs by John Peel, neither Siren or Coyne's solo recordings sold well,
although most are now sought-after by record collectors
