The Honey Pot, from the The Honey Pot Collective

The Honey Pot are a psychedelic/pop 5-piece band, steeped in a musical fantasy time-warp where they groove among their most revered bands, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors and The Small Faces to name a few, but totally modern in every other way. Had they been around back then, they would be riding high with the rest. They are happy, though, to be playing to the crowd who 'were there' and those who groove anew whenever they can.

By 2012 Icarus Peel had composed and produced the first short-song album in response to an idea put forward by DJ Marrs Bonfire, then of Bay FM. (See 'The Story So Far'. )

The recording process had involved Icarus on lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards and vocals, Wayne Fraquet on drums, and Crystal Jacqueline and Iain Crawford on vocals. The name for the band came after one of the album's song titles, 'Comfy's Honey Jar'. 'The Honey Pot' were a recording band only, until they were invited to play at Reading Arts Centre in 2013, their first gig. By this time, they were joined on bass by Tom Brown.

Since then they've played at many groovy festivals and venues with different line-ups, and are looking forward to many more live performances in the future.
