Circus

Circus has been played on NTS in shows including Rare Rap Tapes w/ Adamgoesham, featured first on 10 August 2024. Songs played include Holy Shit! and Farmers Market Of The Beast.

There are several bands called Circus.

This band were first called The Stormeville Shakers. Their rare progressive album is now of minor interest to collectors. Mel Collins was later in King Crimson and Kokomo. Philip Goodhand-Tait had earlier recorded three 45s for Parlophone and after his spell with Circus he went on to record several solo albums. Chris Burrows had earlier played with Ray Anton and The Proform, and later had some involvement with Spirit Of John Morgan and Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come.

Their album was reissued on CD by Castle in August 2000.

Chris Burrows later became a Buddhist monk, releasing four CDs of Buddhist percussion/chanting for the New Beginnings label.
