Timeline

1952

Mark Lewis Fry (born 4 November 1952) is an English painter and psychedelic folk musician.

1970

On leaving Dartington in 1970 he enrolled at the Accademia di belle arti in Florence, Italy, where he studied painting under the Futurist Primo Conti.

During Fry's time in Italy he was introduced to the record producer Vincenzo Micocci.

On hearing some of Fry's songs, Micocci signed him to record label IT Dischi, a subsidiary of RCA.

1971

Dreaming with Alice was recorded by Fry and a band of session musicians in Rome over a three-day period in the summer of 1971.

Following the recording session Fry toured Italy supporting singer Lucio Dalla.

Fry left Italy in autumn 1971 to return to England before the album was released.

1972

He is best known for his album Dreaming with Alice, released in 1972, which has been hailed as a psychedelic folk classic by critics and a diverse range of musicians.

Mark Fry was born in Epping, Essex, into a family of artists descended from the Quaker founders of the Bristol-based chocolate business J. S. Fry & Sons.

His father was the painter Anthony Fry.

He is a cousin of Roger Fry, the artist, critic and member of the Bloomsbury Group.

Fry was educated at Dartington Hall School in Devon.

He was sent a box of the records following the release on IT Dischi records in Italy in 1972, and had no further dealings with the label.

For several years, Fry continued to perform music with various musicians including drummer Pete Thomas (later of The Attractions), but without any associated record releases.

1980

In the early 1980s, after a long period of travel in the US and West Africa, Fry returned to London to pursue his career as an artist.

Unknown to Fry, the album had been developing cult status over the ensuing three decades as a psychedelic folk classic, garnering acclaim from critics and a new generation of musicians as diverse as Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), Colleen and Plastic Crimewave.

1993

Fry has achieved renown as a painter, with eight solo exhibitions since 1993 in London's West End and the Charleston Gallery.

2005

In 2006, Sunbeam Records reissued a remastered version of Dreaming with Alice in the UK.

2008

In January 2008, Fry released his second album, Shooting the Moon, an album of 15 songs penned over a number of years.

In February 2009, Fry collaborated with Nick Franglen of Lemon Jelly on a new version of the title song of Dreaming with Alice, which was released as a limited-edition vinyl single on Fruits de Mer Records.

In 2009 Fry was contacted by Dorset-based experimental musicians Michael Tanner and Nicholas Palmer, together known as The A. Lords.

A musical collaboration ensued, and during 2009 and 2010 the three worked on new songs together, Fry adding lyrics and vocal parts to music composed and recorded by Palmer and Tanner.
