Sutherland Brothers
Encyclopedia
The Sutherland Brothers (Gavin and Iain Sutherland) originally performed as a folk
/ rock
duo
in the field of British
music
in the early 1970s, and then from 1973 to 1978 joined with rock band Quiver to record and tour as Sutherland Brothers & Quiver. Under this combined moniker, the group recorded several albums and had a significant international hit single with the song "Arms of Mary
" in 1976.
"Smokie Blues Away" (which used a melody
based on the main theme of Dvořák
's, New World Symphony), backed with "She's A Soldier Boy" on Spark. Subsequently with The Sutherland Brothers Band (featuring bassist Kim Ludman and drummer Neil Hopwood), they won a new recording
contract
with Island Records
and put out an album
in 1972. Their first single as The Sutherland Brothers Band was under this contract, and was a minor hit, "The Pie", in January 1972.
Their second album Lifeboat was billed simply as Sutherland Brothers, and was recorded with different backing musicians.
They released another two singles in 1972 (one as The Sutherland Brothers Band, one as Sutherland Brothers), then in early 1973, in an effort to diversify and expand their folk based sound, the Sutherland brothers joined forces with a local rock
band
known as Quiver. Quiver were originally formed by guitarist
Tim Renwick
and bassist
John 'Honk' Lodge (both formerly with Junior's Eyes
and David Bowie
), but soon comprised Tim Renwick
, guitarist
and singer Cal Batchelor, bassist
Bruce Thomas and drummer
John "Willie" Wilson.
in the US, and peaking at #25 in Canada. After the release of this single, and after only a few gigs with the band, Batchelor (who had been Quiver's primary songwriter) left. After a few more shows as a five-piece, Batchelor was replaced by keyboardist
Peter Wood. The six-piece group then recorded three other tracks that were included on a heavily-revised North American issue of Lifeboat. In the US and Canada, Lifeboat was credited to The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver, although Quiver did not play on the majority of the album's tracks.
The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver's proper full length debut was 1973's Dream Kid, which spun off no hits. Bruce Thomas, who had been repeatedly clashing with Iain Sutherland, then was asked to leave the group during a tour of Europe in March, 1974. With only a week to go before the band was due to record their next album, Tex Comer filled in on bass for live gigs and a few album cuts, but Gavin Sutherland quickly moved over from guitar to bass, and the band continued as a five-piece.
The 1974 album Beat Of The Street also spun off no hits. Wood then left the group, and the remaining members left Island Records for CBS, with Iain Sutherland explaining: "The main reason we left Island
was because they wouldn't distribute singles from our albums in the United States."
As the band was switching labels, a cover of one of the earlier Sutherland Brothers recordings, "Sailing
", became a major UK hit for Rod Stewart
.
The September 1975 album release Reach for the Sky marked the debut of the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver on CBS Records
. Their first CBS single, "Ain't Too Proud" (1975) did not chart, but the second CBS single, "Arms of Mary
" charted in April 1976, becoming a UK Top Ten hit single. "Arms of Mary" was also an international success most notably in Ireland and the Netherlands - in which territories the track was #1 for respectively four and three weeks - with the track also reaching #1 on the Dutch charts for Belgium.
The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver achieved one further UK chart success, "Secrets", in November 1976. Guitarist Renwick left the group in 1977 and was not replaced; this left drummer Willie Wilson as the only remaining member of Quiver. The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver recorded one final album with a wide array of guest musicians helping out, including Renwick, Andy Pyle
from The Kinks
, Rick Wills
of Small Faces, Brian Bennett
from The Shadows
and ex-Moon drummer John Shearer on percussion. It failed to chart, or to spin off any hits.
