Artist History We have been operating as Ziggurat in one form or another since 1973. We released our first album in the UK in 1974, recorded by the famous folk-music collector Peter Kennedy (an associate of Alan Lomax). The years between have seen various bursts of activity, but we set-to in earnest again in late 1997. We find ourselves still knocked-out by the same music and with the same enthusiasm for making our own music as we did when we met in 1970 as schoolboys. Two men, staring into a new century in one direction and smiling jackdaw-like as we pick over our extensive backlog of songwriting. We continue to write songs and music both individually and collectively
