The Hometown Band - Flying
The Hometown Band was founded in 1975 by Claire Lawrence, a former member of The Collectors and Chilliwack, as the back-up group for Canadian folk artist Valdy. The band comprised Shari Ulrich (lead vocals, flute, fiddle - who had a successful solo career and later was part of UHF with Chilliwack founder Bill Henderson), Geoff Eyre (drums, vocals - who later was in Straight Lines), Robbie King (organ, piano, keyboard bass), and Doug Edwards (guitar, keyboards, bass).
This was their first of 2 LP's, which featured the hits, "Flying" and "I'm Ready."
