BOB RONGA info

Bob Ronga (bass, keyboards)

First time I see his name is as part of Ian Matthews Band. Ian had left his own Matthews' Southern Confort, and he assembles a band for an American tour:

Ian Matthews (guitar, vocals)
Andy Roberts (guitar, vocals)
Richard Thompson (guitar, vocals)
Bob Ronga (bass, vocals)

Sometime later, the band changes its name to Plainsong in February 1972, with a change in the lineup:

Ian Matthews (guitar, vocals)
Andy Roberts (guitar, vocals)
Bob Ronga (bass, vocals)
Dave Richards (keyboards, vocals)

They recorded the album In search of Amelia Earhart. It was followed by a 2nd album, that was never released. After that, Plainsong broke, in December 1972. Bob Ronga dedicated to work session.
