THE ORIGINAL STEVE GIBBONS BAND HISTORY
The Steve Gibbons Band were causing a stir across the UK in the 70's when Pete Townshend discovered and mentored them leading to a recording deal with Polydor and touring the World with The Who for 3 years.
They had a UK Top 10 hit with "Tulane" and recorded 4 albums for Polydor and even Roger Daltrey covered "One of the Boys" for his solo album.
Punk & New Wave changed the record industries way of thinking so the original band split, leading to drummer, Bob Lamb becoming a high profile recording producer, notably for UB40, Duran Duran, Ruby Turner, Stephen Tin Tin Duffy & Ocean Colour Scene.
Bob Wilson went on to be MD of the Ruby Turner Band as well as playing guitar for many top Birmingham bands over the past 20 years.
Dave Carroll is a highly respected classical musician who works for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon. He still plays a mean lead guitar!
Trevor Burton, original member of The Move, has fronted his own Trevor Burton Band since the split and is still busy to this day.
Steve Gibbons continues to play his music live across the UK & Europe after over 4 decades in the business covering more miles than NASA's Space Shuttle Program!
