Their follow-up single was the Gavin Sutherland penned Sailing, which had much radio play but was commercially unsuccessful (it was later covered by Rod Stewart). Their first single as The Sutherland Brothers Band was under this contract, and was a minor hit, "The Pie", in January 1972. Subsequently with The Sutherland Brothers Band (featuring bassist Kim Ludman and drummer Neil Hopwood), they won a new recording contract with Island Records and put out an album in 1972. The Sutherland brothers began their career in 1968 as A New Generation, having some success with the single "Smokie Blues Away" (which used a melody based on the main theme of Dvořák's, New World Symphony), backed with "She's A Soldier Boy" on Spark. Under this combined moniker, the group recorded several albums and had a significant international hit single with the song "Arms of Mary" in 1976. The Sutherland Brothers (Gavin and Iain Sutherland) originally performed as a folk / rock duo in the field of British music in the early 1970s, and then from 1973 to 1978 joined with rock band Quiver to record and tour as Sutherland Brothers & Quiver. ++ Sutherland Brothers Discography (1972-1977)++ Sutherland Brothers - Discography (1972-1977) ![]()
