EARTHQUAKES (Cov Band) c 1974
The
Earthquakes hailed from Derby originally but settled in Coventry. They were
managed by the Sunshine Music Agency in Gulson Rd. Coventry via Craig Ward etc..
Co-director
of Sunshine and the main songwriter – Bob Young of A Band Called George – offered
them a song -Dancing to the Music earmarked to be released on the Bell
Label,alongside A Band Called George’s own single NCB Man – again written by
Bob Young. However – I’m not quite sure why – perhaps they split up but it was
reported in Hobo that the single was subsequently offered to Mad Cat Molly.
From the
unpublished version of Hobo issue 3
“MAD
CAT MOLLY are another band set to make a single for possible release on the
Bell label. Again it is a Bob Young composition (no relation to Neil Young
Jamie!!) called Dancing to the Music originally going to be done by the
Earthquakes who hail from Derby. The line up is Steve Lore on lead; Mick Murphy
on Rhythm; Paul Wright on bass and Chris Potter on drums. They have quite a few
booking lined up around the country thanks to Sunshine Music Agency.”
