Friends of Harry were an English pop folk group, who are best known for their song, "Take It All".
Formed in Newcastle in 1988 from the remains of two other Newcastle bands "Pop, Dick and Harry" and "The Bats".[1] [2] They toured UK, Spain, Holland and Switzerland. Their first (and only) album Six Days of Madness comprised early acoustic songs such as "Ronnie Lee" and "£27 a week" through the single "Take It All" to "Happy Life" and "Call of the Wild".[3] Both single and album were reviewed in Folk Roots magazine.[4] The group disbanded in 1992.
