CAMBRIDGE Rock AND ROLL HISTORY
CAMBRIDGE GROUPS 1960-1982 and across...
CAMBRIDGE EVENING NEWS:
These spider web pages are inspired by a couple of articles that appeared a long time agone in the Cambridge Evening News (England)
See new additions below
The charts shown here were adult by Graeme McKenzie, a educatee at Cambridge University who wanted to practice creating genealogy information, and chose this equally his project.
He created a "pedigree" chart for all of the rock and roll musicians in the Cambridge area, known throughout the 1960s and 70s as a place that was fertile with educatee groups rocking their mode through grammar school and college, or just working lads letting off steam and livening-up things in the city, and in the towns and villages around the region of the former county of Cambridgeshire.
From Graeme MacKenzie, January 2012:
If you lot can get into the Local Drove at the Cambridge City Library they should have a complete run of �Blue Suede News�, the magazine I started - to keep the family trees of Cambridge bands, and to campaign for venues in the metropolis. You should give the BBC Radio Cambridgeshire �Rock Show�, which ran in the 1980s, a mention too, since it helped a lot in promoting the local music scene � and of course was incidentally responsible for launching Kimberly and the Waves into their well-deserved, albeit, too brusque-lived, stardom.
� Rock On,
Graeme.

The Cambridge Evening News published one of two articles on the 4th of May 1982
CHARTING THE CHANGES ON City'S Stone SCENE
When the 'News' published a family unit tree of Cambridge rock groups (before) this yr in that location was much controversy over who had been left out. JOHN GASKELL spoke to compiler Graeme Mackenzie.
It is ironic that Cambridge, today so brusk of popular venues, should have nurtured so many stars of the pop world.
Pink Floyd, Yes, 10CC, Roxy Music, Foreigner, Procul Harum, Small Faces, Quiver, Elvis Costello's Attractions, The Clash, The Foundations... all have or formerly had links with Cambridge bands, some more tenuous than others.
In January (1982), the 'News' published a chart showing the roots of Cambridge rock, a family unit tree taking in Pink Floyd, Telephone Bill and some of the more recent local groups. But that particular chart was simply a tiny part of the whole story.
It was fatigued upwardly for the 'News' by Graeme Mackenzie. And if you recall Graeme took a lot of trouble over our niggling chart, y'all should run across his chief work of Cambridge musicians and their bands. It measures nine feet by 5 feet - a staggering 45 square feet of meticulous detail. To suit information technology to affiche size, many important names had to be omitted. Indignant musicians and disgruntled fans should consult the master program before complaining too loudly.
The bands listed on our chart were non necessarily the almost of import ones to have emerged in Cambridge since 1964, but they are the closest to the mainstream. Nosotros felt Floyd and Bill had to exist included.
The idea for a rock family tree came to Graeme while working behind the bar at the Eagle in Cambridge. He is a History graduate of Emmanuel College and one of his hobbies is genealogy. The first family tree he drew up was of medieval kings and queens of Europe.
"The complications were unbelievable," he says. Merely that was before he encountered a dissimilar nightmare in the form of musicians' appalling memory for names and dates.
"As a educatee in Cambridge I had only gone to big-proper name concerts. I was surprised to find out how much was going on locally. I got near of my information from Ivan Carling, who was doing the audio for the Soft Boys at the time." (Ivan claims to have played with Ringo Starr at a Butlins' Holiday Army camp in the days of Rory Tempest and the Hurricanes.)
"I carried a notebook around and as I was introduced to dissimilar musicians I would make notes of their connections. I did bits of the chart every bit I went along, but my aim was to link them all together. After a year of gathering information I started it."
"One practical difficulty is that musicians tend to forget things and often don't know the surnames of others. They can also be very vague virtually dates. And the Cambridge scene is so incestuous. Some bands are very loose. People come and get with line-ups which don't last for much more than than a jam session. I fabricated a stipulation that a line-upwards had to be in existence for at least three gigs to authorize."
Frustrating
Nevertheless he admits there are bound to be mistakes and gaps. He asks musicians to exist tolerant and endeavor to understand the difficulties.
Graeme would like to see group photographs. He hopes eventually to put on a library brandish of the chart and memorabilia. Suitable textile should be sent to 5 Beaumont Road, Cambridge. Somewhen he plans to take the full nautical chart published.
In the course of his research Graeme noticed how strong a link there was between Cambridge and London, partly due to the shortage of venues for local musicians to play, although there are other factors.
"Robyn Hitchcock was told by people in the business concern to come up up to Cambridge to grade a band considering the Cambridge music scene had so many good musicians around," says Graeme.
"Obviously it's very frustrating because there are all these good musicians with nowhere to play. Many of them don't want to move away. They don't desire to have the tremendous risk of giving up a job and risking everything by going to London to endeavour to make information technology big. They just desire to play for the fun of it."
Graeme as well noticed how much Town-Gown collaborations there had been betwixt musicians. "There certainly seems to exist an intellectual element in Cambridge bands. In that location are dozens of student bands which only be in the academic year. What happens is that students become role of the music scene."
"Information technology'due south a dandy pity that and then many colleges don't let the boondocks public in to hear the bands. And some of the colleges are very unfair about letting their halls be used at all."
THE RAMBLERS in Cambridge, 1962
And now the charts!
Notation: The bit about "The Chequers 1960" is totally incorrect, as is the date.
Bubs White played lead, Andy Peters Sang, Jenny Peters (married woman) played drums. I am pretty
certain Noel was the bassist but don`t call back for sure. They certainly were not playing
much earlier than 1962.

Here is a great Pinkish Floyd History site, (in French!) but it has some interesting information & pictures.
Here'southward an interesting chip of Pink Floyd history
A bit more than Pinkish-Floyd-ology here: Did yous know where the name came from? Information technology says that:
(Re: Pink ANDERSON of South Carolina)
"Unless you've followed the juke articulation or medicine show circuits of the deep South, Pinkish Anderson hasn't exactly been a household name. Fortunately, Pink'due south Prestige and Bluesville discs from the early 60's have been reissued by Fantasy nether the Original Blues Classics imprint. Pink Anderson was a fixture on the Piedmont country dejection circuit that began in his native Southward Carolina. His Medicine Bear witness Man re-release captures some of the best country dejection institute anywhere, peculiarly when ol' Pink finds his "Greasy Greens," or when he howls "I Got A Adult female Manner Cross Town." For 40 years, Pink traveled the string band and minstrel testify circuit in the Southward, and he played hillbilly, folk and boogie blues. I don't think he realized the affect land blues had on a young British musician named Syd Barrett who played the blues in bands in the early 60's that went by the name of Hollerin' Blues, Dejection Anonymous or The Ramblers. Syd subsequently met up with a bassist named Roger Waters, and afterwards a few twists and turns, they helped form a "psychedelic" band named Pink Floyd. The Floyd role of the band'due south proper noun is from another bluesman, Floyd Council. "

From Andy Wright
Subject: Cambridge musos
Hullo, Paul from the Boat Race forwarded your electronic mail to me every bit he thought that I might be able to aid yous. I had a look at your website, smashing to meet that someone is preserving our local musical heritage. I take been looking for something similar this for ages. I was given a book on the music scene in my erstwhile habitation town of Bishop's Stortford, and I couldn't believe how many famous bands had played in such an iffy alibi for a boondocks. This made me wonder how Cambridge had fared. Surely it must take had even better gigs. I have heard near some of them (Jimi Hendrix, an off nighttime from what I've heard, John Lennon'due south kickoff gig later The Beatles and a functioning at one of the outdoors gigs by David Bowie which was apparantly cut brusque by Dave Broad making his opinions known regarding the set).
I have been playing in Cambridge for about 8 years, I call back, and have been subjected to about 7 years of the Gunkhole Race Dejection Jam. So, I probably know nigh of the gigging musicians in boondocks at the moment. Other jams have been visited at dissimilar points including ane at Newmarket. I cannot recall the proper name of the pub at the moment, but it had an attempt at a club in the dorsum room called Chat Noir. One of the resident musicians at this jam was i Ivan Carling. We have been telling eachother how to play rock 'n' roll ever since! Obviously, the bands in the family unit trees on your site are before my time, but I know some of the musicians. I don't know how much y'all know of their present activities so I will just tell you what I know. Nick Barraclough is at present a Radio 2 DJ and appeared at the Boaty with The Light Dejection Band in Feb. Paul Maguire is the chairman of Rocktech, a kind of stone school run at The Junction. This has just started information technology'southward ain record label for local bands.
Alex Cooper is ane of the regular performers at Adept Question gigs held on the first friday of each calendar month at the Boaty. Also as The Waves, he is playing in The Midnight Creepers. This is a new dejection band which also features Pete Towers. Pete is as well a regular at the Acoustic Blues nights which are at The Boaty on tuesday nights.
As well, but not contempo news, did you lot know that Jimmy Page approached B.J. Cole to play with The New Yardbirds? He reckoned that Procol Harum would exist a safer bet.
I hope that this has helped, if y'all have whatever questions, feel free to enquire. Ted Koehurst might be worth talking to as he seems to know everything about the musical history of Cambridge. If you ever come to the Boaty, ask for me at the bar. I am unremarkably there, fifty-fifty if I have a night off.
Go on up the good work.

From Mark Williams
I saw your website. I used to relish watching Duncan & the Darts in the seventies. They played a blinding version of Road Ladies from Frank Zappa's Chunga'southward Revenge. Do you lot know annihilation well-nigh them and are there any recordings around today?

From Jon Ward
Hiya,
Just thought I would let you know about some info that may exist of involvement to y'all. I was around playing in bands from the late 60'southward to current - nigh well known existence "The Frigidaires" - I was a founder fellow member (guitar).
Graeme loved our ring and 2 or three others bands around at the time and created a family unit tree all of its own. Without going in to too much item I call up I nevertheless have copies of this together with cuttings from "Scene and Heard" a local fanzine of the time that Graeme wrote for. I'll effort and locate them and if successful will scan and forward.
Have a good one

From Stephen Brooks
I was very interested to read your web page about Cambridge and bands etc.
I grew up in Cambridge in the 1950s - 1980s and played in several Cambridge

Managed and engineered past Chris Denis (previously lead vocaliser with the Screaming Ab Dabs,
the first incarnation of the Pink Floyd. Graham later expanded the ring into a working
pub band and went on to play with several Cambridge bands. Chris went dorsum to Wales.
I stopped playing in bands at this time and concentrated on setting up my own businesses.
But other related musical connections are:
When I was about 14, I auditioned as drummer for Joker's Wild and got the job but my Dad
wouldn't let me join because they were all much older than me, had long hair and probably
took drugs - a missed opportunity. Much later, I was adept friends with Richard Wright
of the Pink Floyd (near neighbours in Royston) and sat in on some of the Abbey Road
sessions of Wish You Were Here. Richard offered me a task as engineer at Abbey Road,
which I turned downwardly because of the poor bacon, some other missed opportunity.
Jack Bruce (of Cream) jammed on bass with Infant Whale at a gig in a church hall
in St Andrew's Street, Cambridge. No i could believe it was him as he was
a fable at that time, however, he was so out of his caput, that we had to lend him 50p
to telephone his wife to come pick him up. I produced a single with Mike Oldfield
for Isle records, an album for his sister Sally (who was living in Sewards Terminate
near Safron Walden) and film music with his brother Terry Oldfield. I also produced
and wrote a songs for Brian Poole (of Brian Poole and the Tremolos). Also
Reggae ring Blackness Slate and had some of my songs produced by Human League producer
Colin Thurston and Police producer Nigel Greyness. Police drummer Stewart Copeland also recorded
1 of my songs. I produced ii of Nick Barraclough's Telephone Pecker and the Smooth Operators'
singles for DJM. I also produced numerous punk bands.
From 1985 - 1999 I had a very successful Hypnotherapy Training College in the Great britain with
offices in Burleigh Street Cambridge. I have been living in Thailand on and off for
the by 10 years where my wife has a Thai eating place and an consign business.
I am desperate to get back into playing music, so I am forming a dejection band.
We will be opening an Irish gaelic Pub in Chiang Mai called "The Can Whistle" and so that
I can gig every nighttime until I drop! Come up and see us.

From Brian Collins
I've just come across the CAMBRIDGE Stone AND Gyre HISTORY page and can
retrieve a couple of other bands around 1975-76, which are not mentioned,
although both (I believe) are dead-ends in the geneology. Both involved John
Dyer, front-man for Knuckles Duke and the Dukes. 1 was Larry Lounge and the
Good News Trio (all five or 6 of them!) which ran concurrently with DD&tD, and
was withal another permutation of the same crowd. They played more "lounge style"
and I remember an encore once of "Summer Vacation"! The other was Sheboigan which
contained John Dyer and (maybe) Simon Boswell in a 5-6 slice band playing
a "harder", less MOR, range. I call up a swell version of Barrytown (Steely Dan).
I don't know if this is of any interest or relevance at all to annihilation, but you did ask!!
Bry
NEWLY ADDED Data Jan 2010:
Thanx brian for just takin the time to reply, its been quite an emotional morning for my sis
and I to even know that people notwithstanding call back dad!
I'thousand sure he said he was in/had conections with a band, The Burnets (?spelling) and also
was approached by David Gilmore to form a band, non long before he married my mum in 1964/65.
(I'm sure he thought he was gonna exist a star!) He had bros Paul and Royce and two sisters Josie and
Gill, one of his mates at the fourth dimension was a Mick (John) Dunn. He too mentioned that he helped (?)
run a club higher up the Red Cow pub in town and how they were often airtight downwardly by the local
police force for the use of illegal substances on the premises, ha ha! My dad and drugs, what
a rebel!!! I know he was arrested for throwing a bag of flour through a store window in Rose
Crescent during rag week in 1963 I fink. He lived in Whitehill Road when growing up and went to
Milton Road Principal, though not 100% sure of that. I don't actually know more than that, its all
a bit sketchy I'thousand agape, though early on pictures do suggest very long tall legs and black
greased back hair, lots of memories of him singing in forepart of the mirror and continually
making references equally to how many people likened him to Elvis.... yeah, big information technology up dad!
Thanx once more, kindest regards - Nicky Wildman
