BRIAN JOHNSTON info
Brian Johnston
(keyboards)
Brian Johnston (sometimes
spelled as Johnson or Johnstone) has played in several great bands. Let's
see:
In September 1976, the lineup for Streetwalkers
was:
-
Roger Chapman (vocals)
-
Charlie Whitney (guitar)
-
Bobby
Tench (guitar,vocals)
-
Micky Feat (bass)
-
Brian Johnston (keyboards)
-
David Dowle (drums)
They released a new studio album, Vicious but
fair, and a double live album, Streetwalkers live,
before splitting during 1977. Then, he joined singer Phil May (from Pretty
Things fame), in a band called Phil May & The Fallen Angels, around
July 1977:
-
Phil May (vocals)
-
Micky Finn (guitar)
-
Bill Loveday (guitar)
-
Wally Allen (bass)
-
Brian Johnston (keyboards)
-
Chico Greenwood (drums)
In January 1978, Brian (as well as old mate Dave Dowle)
joined a new band assembled by David Coverdale. The band was Whitesnake.
-
David Coverdale (vocals)
-
Micky Moody (guitar)
-
Bernie Marsden (guitar)
-
Neil
Murray (bass)
-
Brian Johnston (keyboards)
Dave Dowle (drums)
But Brian left them in March 1978, after a short tour
(being replaced by Pete Solley), without having recorded with them.
In September 1978, he joins Phil May & The
Fallen Angels again, for a tour:
-
Phil May (vocals)
-
Ed Deane (guitar)
-
Wally Allen (bass)
-
Brian Johnston (keyboards)
-
Chico Greenwood (drums)
but, after his stay in Roger Chapman & The Shortlist,
I haven't known more from him. Can anybody help, please?
