ABOUT THE BAND
Three decades have elapsed since The Mighty Plod first took the stage. The three year life span of this creative, charismatic and intoxicated pop band from Colchester took them from local covers band to recording artists in their own write, only for them to split ignominously shortly after their record company went under. But the spirit of the Mighty Plod is alive and well, and is making its presence felt. Even after all these years, the corpse twitches restlessly and may even be capable of moving about. In the last couple of years, The Mighty Plod have resurfaced in the pages of ‘Record Collector’, and in two successful books, one of which is to be realised as a comedy film, one of their tracks has finally made it into the record shops on a compilation of lost treasures from the glam rock era, and a long-awaited album is in preparation.
In the years after Plod died, Four of them succeeded in getting deals with major record labels – Martin Newell with RCA, Michael Natkanski with EMI, Steve Greenfield with Prism, and Paul Hart with DJM. Three decades later, five of Plod’s six musicians remain musically active, and are pleased to have their history revisited in this unexpected way.
