Writing_on_the_Wall_(band)
Writing on the Wall were a Scottish rock band of the late 1960s and early 1970s who became a popular live act in the United Kingdom.[2]
The group originally formed as the Jury, changing their name to Writing on the Wall in early 1968.[3] The band's manager, Brian Waldman, moved the group to London and let the band perform at his club, the Middle Earth.[3] That same year, the band recorded a BBC radio session for disc jockey John Peel and made a live demo album as well.[4]
They eventually recorded their lone album, The Power of the Picts in 1969, for Waldman's Middle Earth label.[3] In 1971, the band did another session for John Peel and made an LP in Scotland that was never released in 1972, then went through several line-up changes. The group tried to record another album in Wales near the end of 1973, but gave up when their equipment was stolen in December of that year.[4]
