Formed by Tony Durant at Exeter University in 1970, Fuchsia played a ground breaking mix of orchestral progressive folk influences, releasing just one fantastic self-titled LP before going their separate ways. Tony went onto to new projects thinking Fuchsia were long forgotten and even become a star in his newly adopted homeland of Australia.
However over the years the album’s value has soared, word has spread across the globe leading to prestigious recognition as one of Mojo’s Forgotten Classics. After a forty year gap, Tony released what must be one of most most long awaited album follow-ups, ‘From Psychedelia To A Distant Place’ . Finding critical success second time around and connecting with a new generation of fans the past year has been great for Tony.
He reflects on his incredible journey in the music industry with Jason Barnard:
