The Grapevine Session
The Grapevine Session is a full release of Future Stairways' studio session from July 1985. This is the first and only reissue of the 3 tracks to have been released. This EP has been produced directly by David James Pettifor, in advance of what would have been the band's 40th anniversary.
Future Stairway were a four-piece from Brighton, England, composed of David Pettifor (vocals), Darren Vallier (guitar), Lance Taylor (drums), and Daniel Huber (bass). The band emerged from the incredible mind and talent of lead guitarist, Darren Vallier. Their music was described by Darren as "imaginative rock".
