GRYPHON - Red Queen To Gryphon Three: What if Henry VIII fronted a rock band?

This week, Shaun did one of his critically-acclaimed “pods from the wood” series, this time on the third album by Gryphon, Red Queen To Gryphon Three. Topics covered include: the uniqueness of the band’s sound, the band’s connection with Rick Wakeman, how this record compares to the group’s other work, the visual nature of their music and the connection with Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland. Also, what’s a Krumhorn when it’s at home? If Gryphon were an apple, what kind would it be? Is the last part of the album based on the Battle of Hastings? How little does Shaun know about rap music? Who is Dan Pearce and can he get in touch? And will the trees please shut up?
