I tentatively thought of Prefab Sprout when listening to this and on searching for updates on the band, I saw critic references to Prefab Sprout. Sadly their lead guitarist died of Cancer in 2016. They are in the throes of a new album for bandcamp - can't wait to hear!

Heard today that Hilton Valentine from the Animals has died RIP. 

He was the one who composed House of the Rising Sun and played the famous guitar riff. 

The song which was a great success at the time of release, here and in the USA,  is now regarded as a great classic.

I echo the sentiment - RIP Hilton Valentine. Eric Burden was also a great influence on both sides of the pond. Thanks for sharing the sad news.

Eric Burden was a good singer. I also like the sound of Alan Price playing  the organ music, I think that too probably  contributed to the song's appeal and influence.
