BABY WHALE were a brief and relatively obscure early seventies folk band based out of Cambridge whose sole album sat archived for nearly thirty years before being released on CD in 2002. The band's genesis came when Cambridge Folk Club resident Nick Barraclough met his future wife Anne Baker, an American in England playing acoustic folk music. The two recruited TOBY JUG BAND guitarist/vocalist Steve Brooks and GOODY TWO SHOES was born. Shortly afterwards Brian Wren and Lindsey Scott would sign on, and the band would change their name to BABY WHALE and appear at 1973's Cambridge Music Festival. During their short existence the group was known to have supported or appeared with such varied acts as VELVET UNDERGROUND, DAVID BOWIE, PRETTY THINGS, MC5, LOU REED, CURVED AIR, CHUCK BERRY and FAIRPORT CONVENTION. Signed to DJM Records, they cut a dozen tracks at Rockfield Recording Studios in Wales, but due to financial troubles the label folded before the record could be properly released. Shortly after those sessions Anne Baker would depart and be replaced only briefly by SALLY OLDFIELD (Mike's sister and half of the folk duo SALLYANGIE) before the group disbanded and its members dispersed to other ventures.
