The Peddlers
British rock/blues/jazz group.
The three members of The Peddlers, Roy Phillips, Tab Martin, and Trevor Morais first met in a Manchester music shop. All three were looking for a new venture after their previous bands had folded. Following the teaming up the band began rehearsals with the clear intention of developing a new approach. Phillips described their style as "blues based with a touch of rock and jazz ...we are trying to set trends".
The debut single "Let The Sun Shine In/True Girl" coupled an energetic R&B track with an uncomfortable attempt at Merseybeat and started a run of five more singles and an EP for the Philips label, most of which are collected on the 1968 compilation album "The Fantastic Peddlers". Highlights of which include Phillips’ "Whatever Happened To The Good Times", and "Anybody's Fool".
In 1966 the group began a residency at Annie's Room in London, also playing the Scotch of St James and the Pickwick, where the group’s first album "Live At The Pickwick" was recorded. The album is a perfect "you are there" of the mid-1960s London club scene, complete with a trying-hard-to-be-hip Pete Murray introduction and a semi celebrity audience.
The Peddlers’ reputation as a live attraction spread and after becoming the first Brits to play the Flamingo in Las Vegas, a deal with CBS was signed. The first album for CBS "Freewheelers" contained eleven cover versions of mainly standards with one original song. The follow up "Three In A Cell" followed suit, although this time Phillips provided four of the eleven tracks.
The group also continued to release regular singles several of which were minor hits. The last album for CBS 1970s "Birthday" came complete with risqué cover with the music ranging from folk to jazz. Back at the Philips label the group released the excellent "Three For All" which included "Tell The World We're Not In" and a take on “Last Train to Clarkesville”, among others. .
The next release was "Georgia On My Mind", a straight reissue of "Live At The Pickwick", and was followed by the ambitious "Suite London", recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
After Morais quit the group and with new drummer Paul Johnston in tow, The Peddlers released their final album "Live In London". The mid 1970s however was a different place and the group called it a day soon after "Live In London" was released.
The Peddlers were an underrated group who had in Phillips an excellent musician, vocalist and writer, and in Martin and Morais a rhythm section second to none. They left behind some great records, an enviable live reputation and were a true sound of the 1960s.

The Hollies
The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s. Most of the band members are from throughout East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early-1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. Along with the Rolling Stones, they are one of the few British pop groups of the early 1960s that have never officially broken up and that continue to record and perform. The Hollies were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
