BANDS
These are brief descriptions of some of the
bands which I list. They don't pay me, they are just friends - so I don't guarantee the
descriptions are complete, or up to date, or even correct, but they
give an idea of who's who. |

THE JACKIE LYNTON BAND
Rock'n'Roll at its best, with a decent helping of R&B and Blues. Jack
is the ultimate "musician's musician" - his career has spanned five decades
starting as a solo singer in the sixties (Teddy Bears Picnic, Over the
Rainbow), followed by a spell in the USA fronting The Savoy Brown
Blues Band (Jack The Toad). A prolific
song writer, Jack teemed up with Rick Parfitt and helped pen some of
Status Quo's best known numbers. He then joined
John Coghlan's Diesel before forming his own
band. Jack is not only a great singer and songwriter, but also a
terrific entertainer - even his blue jokes sound innocent ! Backing Jack are two lead guitars: Chris Bryant (Bryant's Guitar Emporium, Denmark Street) and Mike Windus (Cryin' Out Loud). His power house comprises Greg Terry-Short on percussion and Colin Pattenden (Manfred Mann's Earth Band) on bass. You can book this band by mailing Bandmaster@Nashville-Teens.com
