The Settlers (band)
The Settlers were a folk-oriented group from the English West Midlands,〔See, for example, Castle CD, ''Brum Beat: the Story of the 1960s Midland Sound'' (2006), which included the Settlers' recording of Gordon Lightfoot's ''Early Morning Rain''.〕 who formed in the mid-1960s. They started out as a trio comprising Cindy Kent (vocals and tambourine; 7 August 1945, West Bromwich〔(The Good News - Arts )〕), Mike Jones (vocals and guitar; born Michael Edwin Jones, 16 September 1943 – 11 May 2008) 〔(Mike Jones dies aged 64 – Lastingtribute.co.uk )〕 and John Fyffe (banjo; born 3 July 1943), but added a bassist, Mansel Davies.
==Formation and genre==
The Settlers were initially known as the Birmingham Folk Four, but became known as the Settlers after their first single, "Settle Down".〔''The Times'' obituary of Mike Jones, 21 July 2008〕 A six-month residency on the BBC television series, ''Singalong'', led to support bookings on tours with, among others, Dusty Springfield, Roy Orbison and The Small Faces.〔''The Times'', 21 July 2008〕 The Settlers have generally been referred to as a folk group. However, like the Seekers, the successful Australian group with which they shared marked similarities,〔''The Times'', 21 July 2008〕 some of their material gravitated towards mainstream pop, which, taking its cue from American singer-songwriters Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and such groups as Peter, Paul and Mary, We Five and The Byrds, readily absorbed folk influences in various ways in the mid-1960s. The Settlers’ melodic style〔''The Times'', 21 July 2008〕 was largely settled before the advent of British folk-rock in the guise of Fairport Convention and Pentangle later in the sixties.
