I have a few albums from the Fairies, and Never Never Land is a classic. Reminiscent of early HAWKWIND, and featuring Twink and Paul Rudolph, what's not to like ??
Later stuff tended to be more Hard-Rock orientated, but still jammed out nicely.
They may go in as 'Prog Related' with any luck.....

This post by Special Collaborator Certif1ed from the Jan 2010 thread probably sums the band up best: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64389&PID=3519758#3519758" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64389&PID=3519758#3519758 .

They've never actually been formally evaluated on here, and the general consensus is that they might fit in Prog Related, but that isn't something that's easy to achieve - requiring a convincing case for their inclusion to be prepared by a Special Collaborator, and then for our admins to approve the addition having considered the evidence presented to them in it.
