UPDATED LINKS AND BANDS 22nd Nov 09 (MORE TO COME) Asterix denotes new update
This is a new work in progress - and will take a while to compile crocodile.
New Starting to add solo artists at the bottom of this.
Below is an A to Z of Coventry from the 60's to the early 80's and even to the present but without any info. Instead
gradually we will add links to where info can be found - particularly on the Rex Brough / Broadgate Gnome / Hobo sites or on the band's own sites or in One of Pete Chamber's books Godiva Rocks /Godiva Rocked to a Backbeat. Also it will contain any links to other site such as Tim James One Man Band and Modi Albrighton soon.Hopefully this provide an amazing research tool for anyone looking for info on any Cov band. Please advise on additional links / bands etc or point out errors. Note - I will follow the Gnome system here of alphabetically ignoring the 'The' in the band's name s that The Angstroms would be classified under A rather than T. Unlike the Gnome - 3 AM would be classified under T (for three). We can refine the system as we go along! This includes bands for the whole area including Warwick, Nuneaton, Leamington Spa. Rugby.
UPDATE INFO - Have completed this - but need to add in Hobo entries when completed on the Hobosite and also add any My Space or band sites etc. Currently working way through the alphabet. You are welcome to send corrections/ additional info or sites. 22nd Nov 2009
Note - some bands are only mentioned by name in Pete Chamber's book Godiva Rocks in the C list. If this is the case I have put M in brackets for mention. Where the band has a valid entry I will put the Page No.

Posted by: BroadgateGnome | 04/14/2009 at 10:38 PM
Looking to find any information on a coventry punk band called Homicide during the 1970's and early 1980's
Can any body help?
Posted by: Charlotte Thompson | 11/25/2009 at 03:12 AM
I'm looking to find a guitarist named Roy Butterfield. We used to play together in Ireland in 1969 and in Scotland in 1970. Any info would be great.
Posted by: Colm Graham | 06/02/2010 at 12:21 PM
Hi Colm. I hope you found the bits on here about Roy . I cant remember if it mentions how he was living when last heard about. My mumused to see him a lot . Every now and again when passing through Coventry I go to the woods to see if there is any sign but no joy.
He was very important in the musical history of Coventry. There used to be a saying .."The only band he never joined was the Orchids and we are not sure about that"
Tom Robinson got him to change his name to Anton Mauve
Owen John was still well a coupl eof years ago . He moved away from Tile Hill when h elost his mum, to earlsdon.
( I went to junior school with Roy and Lived opposite Owen)
