Blossom Toes were a British psychedelic pop band active between 1966 and 1970. Initially known as The Ingoes,[1] they were renamed and signed to the Marmalade record label of manager Giorgio Gomelsky.[2] The original line-up comprised Brian Godding (19 August 1945 – 26 November 2023, Monmouth, South Wales) (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Jim Cregan (born James Cregan, 9 March 1946, Yeovil, Somerset) (guitar, vocals), Brian Belshaw (born 25 February 1944 – 3 February 2016, Wigan, Lancashire) (bass, vocals), and Kevin Westlake (born Kevin Patrick Westlake, 5 March 1947 – 30 September 2004, Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland) (drums).[1][3]

The band's debut album, We Are Ever So Clean, was issued on 3 November 1967[4] It was included in Record Collector's list of the "100 Greatest Psychedelic Records".[5]

If Only For A Moment saw the band taking a noticeably heavier direction,[2] with Cregan and Godding's distinctive two-part guitar harmonies playing a prominent role.[citation needed] At this point Westlake left, and was replaced by John "Poli" Palmer (25 May 1943 – 21 July 2025, Evesham, Worcestershire), and then Barry Reeves (15 July 1944 – 6 February 2010, Birmingham, West Midlands).[2]

The band quit in 1970.[1] Belshaw and Godding rejoined Westlake in B.B. Blunder,[1] Cregan formed Stud with John Wilson and Charlie McCracken,[1] before joining Family, as did Palmer.[2]

The Blossom Toes contributed music to La Collectionneuse (1967), a film by French director Éric Rohmer, and also appeared in "Popdown" (1967) by Fred Marshall.[citation needed]
