Martin Stephenson & The Daintees – Boat to Bolivia | Britain’s Lost 80s Classic

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of Boat to Bolivia by British rock/folk/pop band Martin Stephenson and the Daintees.Having become busking sensations the group were signed by Kitchenware around the same time as Prefab Sprout and released their first single in 1982. Like other Kitchenware acts the group had its origins in the North East England. The band enjoyed a high critical profile and some minor commercial success. Their best-selling and most acclaimed album is Boat to Bolivia released in 1986.Both The Daintees and Martin Stephenson have remained active in recent years. Stephenson currently lives in the highlands of Scotland and splits his time between solo and small collaborative projects with band albums and annual celebratory Daintees UK tours.I do hope you enjoy this episode.Mathew Woodallhttps://www.facebook.com/share/1F15mx4ea3/https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.
