There is not much info on the following bands four so I've put them in one post.
OUR DOG WINSTON c 1970
Advertised as playing the Walsgrave 26th Dec 1970
PHOENIX c1974
They advertised in Hobo Magazine and we contacted them with a view to playing at the Hobo Workshop Coventry Precinct concert which was shut down on Saturday 14th September 1974. As it happened the first band Memories played and before Phoenix got a chance to play the police shut the concert down. The press cuttings and full story ar the memories post. Folkies Rod Felton and Dave Bennett were earmarked to perform too. A young Dave Pepper was in this band - Dave later went on to play with X Certs inthe late 70's.
PUG-MA-HO c 1974
This band were managed by Sunshine Music Agency based in Gulson Rd. Bob Young of A Band Called George and also a direcector of Sunshine Agency wrote songs for the band. The band came from Derby but settled in Cov and included Olly Oliver (Later Dr Mustard) and Margo Buccannan Smith. They later become SMACK! See SMACK! for further info.
PROFUSION C 1974 / 5
This band advertised in HOBO as a 'Rock Band' with a Leamington Spa phone No.
QUANNA PARKER c1974 /5
This was another of guitarist Chris Jones outfits. Although Chris gave me his band card outside of the Golden Cross, I
don't have full details of the band. I think it was a derivative of Khayyam after they split up. Certainly John Bargent (Bo) was their manager. John had started HOBO with me and left to road manage Khayyam on the European tour and when they returned the band eventually split. Khayyam had been playing at the Golden Cross where the Hobo Wokshop was latterly held. I think we had intened to put Quanna Parker on at the workshop as John rejoined Hobo when it was in it's 'live' workshop phase as DJ. However the workshop finished before it was finalised.
