RAY GLYNN info
Ray Glynn
(guitarist)
Keyboardist, also a gifted
composer.
First band I've been able
to trace with him was The Mirage, a band from Hertford, England. It started
with more guys (I guess they were his brothers), around 1960. After some
years, they become a professional band. This was their first stable lineup:
Pete Hynes (vocals)
Pat Hynes (guitar)
Ray Glynn (guitar)
Dee Murray (bass)
Dave
Hynes (drums)
Around 1965 or so, Pat Hynes
leaves, being replaced by keyboardist Kirk
Duncan:
There were changes in the band
(Jeff Peters would replace Dee Murray at some point). They released 7 singles
from 1965 to 1969 (their 2nd single was produced by Graham Nash, Allan
Clarke and Tony Hicks, all from The Hollies), and although they never released
an album, many years later an album has appeared, You can't be serious,
with 24 tracks, some of them live!
When they split, some of
the members formed a new band, called Portobello Explosion, but I haven't
been able to know if Ray went with them.
In 1972, he joins mythical
Joe Brown in his new band, Brown's Home Brew, along with Joe's wife, the
great, late Vicki Brown:
Joe Brown (vocals)
Vicki Brown (vocals)
Ray Glynn (guitar)
Jeff Peters (bass)
Kirk
Duncan (keyboards)
Dave
Hynes (drums)
They released their first album,
Brown's Home Brew, also featuring Pete Oakman on bass. After that, the
band changed completely, and Ray left.
After that, I haven't been
able to trace more bands with Kirk. But he remained active as session player.
QUESTIONS:
1. Was Ray a member of Jawbone
and/or Portobello Explosion?
