A 2nd album is released, If only for a moment, with contribution by the great Shawn Phillips, and also appearing Poli Palmer.
The band appeared in a movie from 1968, Pop down, along with Zoot Money, Brenton Wood, Don Partridge, Julie Driscoll - Brian Auger & The Trinity, and Luis Bonfa. It would be great watching that movie now!
They finally split in December 1969, when the two Brians left.
There's a 2LP compilation called Blossom Toes Collection. There's also another album credited to Blossom Toes, New day, but it was really recorded by the band B B Blunder (we'll read about them right now) (in fact, it's a reissue of B B Blunder's Worker´s playtime).

JULIE TIPPETT GROUP
Some months before the end of Blossom Toes, Brian Godding and Brian Belshaw played a one-off gig at The Roundhouse with Julie Driscoll supporting her beautiful album 1969, where the whole band was featured. This was the personnel for that gig:

The concert was held at The Roundhouse in London, where they performed some of the material from 1969, and some of Brian Godding's stuff. including ´Newday´.
CENTIPEDE
In November 1970, Keith Tippett assembles a big band. The project was called Centipede. Featuring members of Nucleus and Brotherhood Of Breath, as well as other friends and mates. This was the initial lineup for Centipede in their first gig, happening in November 1970:
CENTIPEDE #1 |
Nov 70 |

Keith Tippett keyboards | Julie Tippett vocals | Mike Patto † vocals | Maggie Nicols vocals | Zoot Money vocals | Brian Godding guitar |

Bryan Spring drums | Tony Fennell drums | + others unkown to me |
I know I´m still missing several musicians. Can someone provide me the names, please?
In June 1971, Keith Tippett finally arranges 3 day for recording a studio album by Centipede. Beware, this is the complete list of musicians: :)

Keith Tippett piano, musical director | Julie Tippett vocals | Mike Patto † vocals | Maggie Nicols vocals | Zoot Money vocals | Boz Burrell † vocals |

Tony Fennell drums |
The band usually included Paul Nieman (trombone) and Robert Fripp (guitar), but they don't appear in the album. In the case of Fripp, he was busy producing the album. It was recorded during 3 days in June 1971. The album (a double LP, now reissued on CD) is very dense, with its obvious ups and downs. To me, Brian Godding playing is one of the highlights of the album (he performs a solo in the 2nd track).
