Rare Bird came together in October 1969 when organist Graham Field, keyboardist Dave Kaffinetti, drummer Mark Ashton, and singer Steve Gould envisioned a two-keyboard rock candy legal without guitars. They released their debut ahead the end of the class, featuring the nonaged radiocommunication hit "Understanding." The future class they released As Your Mind Flies By, a dark and heavier album that place further accent on Gould's melodramatic tattle style. Field and Ashton left the group earlier Epic Forest, which power saw fresh drummer Fred Kelly bring in guitarist Andy Curtis to revamp their sound into a more folk-oriented guidance. Gould as well picked up the guitar at this point, and the music became a great deal more around their guitar interplay than anything else. By 1973's Somebody's Watching, interest had waned in their efforts, going away the group with a dwindling fan base. Still, they managed to release one more album, 1974's Born Again, which featured an exclusively different sound than the progressive rock of their first 2 albums. The band's death was followed by a assembling, Sympathy, which took its material from the starting time deuce albums only.

Mischa Barton to arrive in Belfast tonight

Mischa Barton to arrive in Belfast tonight



Former 'OC' star Mischa Barton is due to arrive in Belfast tonight for the world premiere of one of the biggest movies to be filmed in the city.
The glamorous Hollywood star, who played troubled teenager Marissa Cooper in 'The OC', will join Oscar winners Richard Attenborough and Shirley MacLaine at the premiere of the romantic wartime epic 'Closing the Ring' tomorrow night in the city.
The movie, directed by Attenborough, was shot in Belfast last year and tells the tragic story of a ring found on a hill overlooking the city 50 years after an American B-17 bomber crashed there.
Spanning two continents and over five decades, it emerges the last dying wish of the gunner was that he wanted the ring returned to his girlfriend in America.
Oscar winner Brenda Fricker and acclaimed actors Pete Postlethwaite, Neve Campbell and Christopher Plummer are also among the cast.
The film is loosely-based on real events surrounding the crash of an American bomber which was returning to its base in Nutts Corner near Antrim.
The movie, part of which is set in North Carolina, was also filmed in Toronto.
The securing of the movie was a major coup for the Northern Ireland Film and Television Commission which has since been able to attract a number of high profile screen projects to the city by converting an old paint hall in Belfast docks into the Titanic Film Studio.
Bill Murray and Tim Robbins shot the children's science fiction epic 'City of Ember' in Belfast this year and actor Ben Kingsley, who won an Oscar in the title role of Attenborough's 'Gandhi', is currently shooting 'Man on the Run' about an IRA informer.
'Closing the Ring' has already boosted the career of Belfast actor Marty McCann, who, on the strength of his performance, landed an audition with Steven Spielberg and then a role in the follow-up to the television series 'Band of Brothers'.
Stormont Culture Minister Edwin Poots and Economy Minister Nigel Dodds will tomorrow host a lunchtime reception for the movie's stars.
As the Hollywood team arrived in the city, 'Closing the Ring's producer, Belfast-based Jo Gilbert, spoke of her pride over Northern Ireland's role in the making of the movie.
"With the majority of 'Closing the Ring' shot on location in Belfast, including the Cave Hill, the east and north of the city as well as filming on the stages of the Titanic Studios and at Bangor's Clandeboye Estate, it proves that Northern Ireland has strong credentials as a movie-making hotspot," she said.
