The Conspirators is the British northern indie / folk band. The band consists of five members (2008):
- John Gillies - rhythm guitar/vocals
- Genevieve Parker - vocals
- Jim Beadle - drums
- Nathan Reeve - bass
- Jim Gillies - keys
In 2008 the band released the double A-side single featuring Judy Dyble, former Fairport Convention vocalist. The single included a remake of Fairport Convention's song "One Sure Thing" and The Conspirators song "Take Me To Your Leader". It reached No.7 in the official uk indie singles chart, spending 3 weeks in the top 10.
The promotion for this single saw Dyble make a couple of very rare live appearances, at the Harrogate International Conference Centre, and at an in-store live gig at HMV's superstore in Leeds city centre on 3 March 2008.[1]
In 2012 Conspirators released their debut album "What's Going On". The album featured guest performances from Dodgy lead guitarist Andy Miller, as well as Echobelly's Glenn Johansson.[2]
