NOOSHA FOX / SUSAN TRAYNOR info
Noosha Fox
/ Susan Traynor (vocalist)
A very interesting singer, it's a pity she hasn't
remained too active in music business. Her real name is Susan Traynor.
Her first known band was Wooden Horse:
-
Noosha Fox (vocals)
-
Graham Vick ()
-
+ others unknown to me. Help,
please!
Their first album was a self-titled, Wooden
Horse. It was followed by Wooden Horse II, recorded with this lineup:
-
Noosha Fox (vocals)
-
Dave Mateer (guitar, vocals)
-
Malcolm Harrison (guitar, vocals)
-
Steve Marwood (guitar)
-
Neil Brockbank (bass)
-
Dave Young (flute, sax)
-
Bob Irwin (drums)
The band Wooden Horse is also credited as "vocal harmonies"
for the album Admission free by Jackie Flavelle, so I guess
Noosha could perform there, but I can't know for sure. Any help?
She sang in a solo album by Kenny Young, called
Last stage for Silverworld. And when Kenny Young formed the
band Fox, she was asked to join, adopting the stage name Noosha Fox. It
was formed by great musicians around 1974:
Their first album was Fox, followed
by Tails of illusion. Roger Taylor (drummer for Queen) sings
backing vocals in a track by Tails of illusion.
Their 3rd album was Blue hotel, recorded
with external contributions: Andy Roberts (guitar, banjo, mandolin), Bud
Beadle (sax), Jay Gurden (guitar), Ann Odell (keyboards), John 'Rabbit'
Bundrick (keyboards), Glen LeFleur (drums), Martin David (drums, percussion).
Their main visual impact was Noosha, but she left
the group in 1977, starting her solo career. She had released a single,
'Georgina Bailey', with moderate success. I have her in a Musikladen apparance
around the end of 1977, and she had a strange, intriguing look.
After releasing some more singles, she "disappeared"
from music scene. The only album I have with her singing is Tim Renwick's
solo album, where she appears in a few tracks.
Solo singles:
-
'Georgina Bailey / Pretty boy' (1977) (composed
and produced by Kenny Young)
-
'The heat is on / Some enchanted evening' (1979)
-
'Skin tight / Miss you' (1979)
-
'Hot as sun / The cheapest nights' (1981)
-
'More than molecules / Odd peculiar strange'
(1981)
