VICTOR UNITT info
Victor Unitt
(guitar)
Fantastic guitarist, he was born on July 3, 1946.
He was an original member of Edgar Broughton Band:
-
Edgar Broughton (vocals, guitar)
-
Victor Unitt (guitar, vocals)
-
Arthur Grant (bass)
-
Edgar Broughton (drums)
In November 1969, he left them to join mythical band
Pretty Things, that had just lost two of their most valuable members (original
member Dick Taylor, plus Twink Adler):
-
Phil May (vocals)
-
Victor Unitt (guitar, vocals)
-
Wally Allen (bass, vocals)
-
John Povey (keyboards, vocals)
-
Skip Allan (drums, vocals)
This lineup recorded a fantastic album, Parachute,
and a single, 'The good Mr. Square / Blue serge blues' (released
in April 1970, the B-side not included in the album). This lineup also
contributed to the solo album by drummer Twink, and also an album by French
singer Philippe DeBarges.
In July 1970, Victor left them to rejoin Edgar
Broughton Band:
-
Edgar Broughton (vocals, guitar)
-
Victor Unitt (guitar, vocals)
-
Arthur Grant (bass)
-
Edgar Broughton (drums)
But, in 1973, he had left the band again.
And, since then, I haven't known of Victor Unitt.
Maybe he retired from music business? Does anybody know?
