Mirkwood were a British psychedelic rock band formed in early 1971 by guitarists Mick Morris and Jack Castle.
When Mirkwood's original drummer Steve Smith left, his replacement was Nick 'Topper' Headon, who occupied the drum chair for a year and a half, during which time Mirkwood supplemented their own gigs by working as support to bigger name acts including Supertramp.
The band made its final appearance (at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury) in July 1978.
A review of the album by Classic Rock Society magazine described it as " ..... a fine piece of work .... (combining) slick guitar work, thrilling vocals and imaginative composition and arrangements ...... from a band that could have gone on to great things".
Morris and Castle played occasional gigs together in the Kent area, and reunited in 2015 to release the album Boys from the Chalk.
