BACK TO THE BAND INDEX<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Steel Peach were actually from Bath and based in Derby but because they played a lot in Coventry were regarded as a Coventry band! The evidence for this was in the advertising –<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Cosmic Club was one of Jim Reilly’s clubs – he ran Direct Enterprises in 1974 which included the Shanty Folk Club and the steam packet in 1975. see the Direct enterprise post here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other venues they played in Coventry included the Klunk Klick Club at the Walsgrave.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to pointing out that despite the billing in the advert the band didn’t hail from Coventry, Alan Jones the drummer provided the following information on Steel Peach.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Left to Right Bass\/vocals: Colin Rambsy (Humphries)<\/b> – Drums: Alan Jones<\/b> – Vocals: Rich Rawlings<\/b> – Guitar\/vocals Ken Jones<\/b>
Rich left the band just before we turned pro so the time we were playing the Cosmic Club in 74 we would have been a three piece with Ken on lead vocals (for a time we did have a keyboard player from Wolverhampton Dave Wild)
The split in 74 Colin and Ken formed a band in Derby called Rocks Off Revival and i joined the Earthquakes a Showaddy type rock n roll band from Derby.
Now I think I am the only member of Steel Peach to be still giging, Ken went into Antiques and Colin settled down in Derby working for Derby glass and i play with Blues Reviewed and some session work I am also a photographer. I hope this brings Steel Peach up to date Trev. It’s great that someone like you takes the time on websites like this otherwise all would be forgotten Thank You! Best wishes for the New Year…………Al”<\/span><\/p>\n

Alan’s original comment <\/span><\/p>\n

It was great to find this listing of Steel Peach at the Cosmic Club, and although it has us down as a Coventry rock band we actually came from Bath but we were based in Derby and played around the Coventry area a lot. And As I remember The Cosmic Club was always a great place to play.
