GED PECK info


Ged Peck (guitar)

Powerful guitar player, he was part of the British scene of mid 60s.

First I know about him is playing in Screamin' Lord Sutch & The Savages, around July 1966:

Around 1967, he was a member of backing band for female singer Billie Davis, with most of the same guys: In October 1967, the whole band is hired for playing as the live band for The Flowerpot Men, a nice, sweet band full of vocal harmonies: In January 1968, the great Jon Lord replaces Davidson: But, just a month later, in February 1968, Lord and Simper leave to form Roundabout (the seed for Deep Purple). I don't know if there were more lineups in the meantime, but this was another great one, with Tex Makins: Around 1969, this was the lineup for the backing band of Marsha Hunt (Simper came from Deep Purple, having left them in July 1969):
Marsha Hunt (vocals)
Ged Peck (guitar)
Nick Simper (bass)
Pete Phillips (drums)
Phillips was later replaced by Mac Poole:
Marsha Hunt (vocals)
Ged Peck (guitar)
Nick Simper (bass)
Mac Poole (drums)
Simper left to rejoin Lord Sutch, and I don't know who replaced him. Help with info, please!

In August 1970, the whole backing band left Marsha and formed a new combo, Warhorse:

Ashley Holt (vocals)
Ged Peck (guitar)
Nick Simper (bass)
Frank Wilson (keyboards)
Mac Poole (drums)
Their first album was Warhorse, released in November 1970. Ged Peck left them after that (being replaced by Peter Parks).

And then, I haven't known more things about his musical career, sadly. I've read he also played with Billy Fury or Bob & Earl, but I can't find details, so any help would be appreciated.


QUESTIONS:

1. Was Ged a member of The Circles? What was the lineup(s)?

2. Does Ged play in any track of The Flower Pot Men albums?
