Eddie Lynch guitar, vocals	Brian Godding guitar, vocals	Brian Belshaw bass	Fred Love drums

When they changed drummer, they also changed their name to The Ingoes.

The Ingoes

This was the original lineup for The Ingoes:

THE INGOES #1		?
Eddie Lynch guitar	Brian Godding guitar, vocals	Brian Belshaw bass	Colin Martin drums

In the winter of 1964, they went to play in Germany, as it was usual for British band at that time. When they came back to England, they backed Sonny Boy Williamson for some gigs.

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON BAND

In 1964, Sonny Boy Williamson used the band The Ingoes for backing him in a British tour:

BLOSSOM TOES

Blossom Toes - help with the drummer, please!

Blossom Toes - help to identify them, please!

Blossom Toes were formed after The Ingoes changed their name:

BLOSSOM TOES #1		?
êThe Ingoes	êThe Ingoes	êThe Ingoes	êThe Ingoes

But Colin Martin left soon.

When Colin Martin left, they recruit the great, late Kevin Westlake:

BLOSSOM TOES #2		?-1967
Brian Godding guitar, vocals	Jim Cregan guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Kevin Westlake † drums

They recorded their first album, We are ever so clean, with an orchestra.

Still in 1967, Westlake left.

Westlake was replaced by a superb musician, Poli Palmer, still in 1967.

BLOSSOM TOES #3		1967
Brian Godding guitar, vocals	Jim Cregan guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Poli Palmer drums

They released several singles with this lineup, but Palmer soon left.

Great drummer Barry Reeves (from Ferris Wheel) was the new drummer in Blossom Toes:

BLOSSOM TOES #4		?-1969
Brian Godding guitar, vocals	Jim Cregan guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Barry Reeves † drums

A 2nd album is released, If only for a moment, with contribution by the great Shawn Phillips, and also appearing Poli Palmer.

The band appeared in a movie from 1968, Pop down, along with Zoot Money, Brenton Wood, Don Partridge, Julie Driscoll - Brian Auger & The Trinity, and Luis Bonfa. It would be great watching that movie now!

Blossom Toes still suffered some other changes. One of the last members was powerful drummer Nicko McBrain (but I´d like that someone could confirm me that point, please!):

BLOSSOM TOES #5		1969
Brian Godding guitar, vocals	Jim Cregan guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Nicko McBrain drums

They finally split in December 1969, when the two Brians left.

There's a 2LP compilation called Blossom Toes Collection. There's also another album credited to Blossom Toes, New day, but it was really recorded by the band B B Blunder (we'll read about them right now) (in fact, it's a reissue of B B Blunder's Worker´s playtime).

Other info on members of Blossom Toes (I know up to 8 members)
To be covered (7):	Brian Belshaw, Jim Cregan, Colin Martin, Nicko McBrain, Poli Palmer, Barry Reeves, Kevin Westlake

JULIE TIPPETT GROUP

Julie Driscoll Band in 1969. From left to right: Brian Godding, Brian Belshaw, Keith Tippett, Barry Jenkins and Julie Driscoll

Some months before the end of Blossom Toes, Brian Godding and Brian Belshaw played a one-off gig at The Roundhouse with Julie Driscoll supporting her beautiful album 1969, where the whole band was featured. This was the personnel for that gig:

The concert was held at The Roundhouse in London, where they performed some of the material from 1969, and some of Brian Godding's stuff. including ´Newday´.

CENTIPEDE

Centipede live

In November 1970, Keith Tippett assembles a big band. The project was called Centipede. Featuring members of Nucleus and Brotherhood Of Breath, as well as other friends and mates. This was the initial lineup for Centipede in their first gig, happening in November 1970:

CENTIPEDE #1																									Nov 70
Keith Tippett keyboards	Julie Tippett vocals	Mike Patto † vocals	Maggie Nicols vocals	Zoot Money vocals	Brian Godding guitar	Robert Fripp guitar	Roy Babbington bass	Jeff Clyne † bass	Barry Guy bass	Neville Whitehead bass	Ian Carr † trumpet	Harry Beckett † trumpet	Marc Charig trumpet	Nick Evans trombone	Paul Nieman trombone	Dave Amis trombone	Elton Dean † sax	Stan Sulzmann sax	Karl Jenkins sax	Alan Wakeman sax	Larry Stabbins sax	Jan Steel sax	Robert Wyatt drums	Bryan Spring drums	Tony Fennell drums	+ others unkown to me

I know I´m still missing several musicians. Can someone provide me the names, please?

Centipede in the studio

In June 1971, Keith Tippett finally arranges 3 day for recording a studio album by Centipede. Beware, this is the complete list of musicians: :)

CENTIPEDE #?																																																					Jun 71
Keith Tippett piano, musical director	Julie Tippett vocals	Mike Patto † vocals	Maggie Nicols vocals	Zoot Money vocals	Boz Burrell † vocals	Brian Godding guitar, vocals	Brian Belshaw bass	Jeff Clyne † bass	Harry Miller bass	Roy Babbington bass	Dave Markee bass	Jill Lyons bass	Ian Carr † trumpet, flugelhorn	Mick Collins trumpet	Peter Parkes trumpet	Mongezi Feza † trumpet	Marc Charig cornet	Nick Evans trombone	Paul Rutherford † trombone	Dave Amis trombone	Dave Perrottet trombone	Elton Dean † sax, saxcello	Ian McDonald sax	Alan Skidmore sax	Gary Windo † sax	Karl Jenkins sax, oboe	Dudu Pukwana † sax	Larry Stabbins sax	Jan Steel sax, flute	Brian Smith sax	Dave White sax, clarinet	John Williams sax	Wilf Gibson violin	Wendy Treacher violin	John Trussler violin	Roddy Skeping violin	Carol Slater violin	Louise Jopling violin	Garth Morton violin	Channa Salononson violin	Steve Rowlandson violin	Mica Gomberti violin	Colin Kitching violin	Philip Saudek violin	Esther Burgi violin	Michael Hurwitz cello	Timothy Kramer cello	Suki Towb cello	John Rees-Jones cello	Katherine Thulborn cello	Catherine Finnis cello	Robert Wyatt drums	John Marshall drums	Tony Fennell drums

The band usually included Paul Nieman (trombone) and Robert Fripp (guitar), but they don't appear in the album. In the case of Fripp, he was busy producing the album. It was recorded during 3 days in June 1971. The album (a double LP, now reissued on CD) is very dense, with its obvious ups and downs. To me, Brian Godding playing is one of the highlights of the album (he performs a solo in the 2nd track).

SYMBIOSIS

This band, formed by Gary Windo, was expanded with Brian Godding and Brian Belshaw from Blossom Toes for a short tour in June 1971 (all of them had played in the Centipede album):

SYMBIOSIS #?				Jun 71
Brian Godding guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Mongezi Feza † trumpet	Nick Evans trombone	Gary Windo † sax	Robert Wyatt drums

Other info on members of Symbiosis (I know up to 10 members)

B B BLUNDER

In 1971, three of the original members of Blossom Toes reunite again, this time under the name B B Blunder:

B B BLUNDER #1	1971
Brian Godding guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Kevin Westlake † drums

They released the album Workers´ playtime. The album contains guest appearances by their friends Julie Driscoll (vocals), Brian Auger (keyboards), Marc Charig (trumpet), Nick Evans (trombone), Barry Jenkins (drums), Graham Smith (percussion), Brother James (percussion), and special appearance by the great Mick Taylor (guitar).

In the summer of 1971, when the band B B Blunder decided playing their first gig, they enlisted Reggie King as lead vocalist and Nick Judd on keyboards:

B B BLUNDER #2			1971
Reg King † vocals	Brian Godding guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Nick Judd keyboards	Kevin Westlake † drums

But after just one gig, Kevin Westlake left.

Chris Hunt joined as new drummer for B B Blunder:

B B BLUNDER #3			1971
Reg King † vocals	Brian Godding guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Nick Judd keyboards	Chris Hunt drums

And I think there were more different lineups (with Alan Bam King on guitar and maybe Graham Smith on drums), but can´t find that info. Help, please!

Other info on members of B B Blunder (I know up to 8 members)
To be covered (6):	Brian Belshaw, Chris Hunt, Nick Judd, Alan ´Bam´ King, Reg King, Kevin Westlake

SOLID GOLD CADILLAC

Before a new album is released, they recorded some live tracks for BBC, in 1972. Those amazing BBC recordings included the song ´Elephants´ tales´, that was later recorded by Brian Godding in a later band, Mirage.

Solid Gold Cadillac released their 2nd album, Brain damage in 1973, with a new member, the great Malcolm Griffiths:

The band didn't last, but Brian Godding teamed with some of his mates (Westbrook and Khan) in other different projects along the years, as we're going to read.

MAGMA #?					1974
Christian Vander vocals, drums	Stella Vander vocals	Klaus Blasquiz vocals, percussion	Brian Godding guitar	Jannick Top bass	Gerard Bikialo keyboards	Michel Graillier † keyboards

Brian only played with them in the studio; he didn´t join as the band was living in France.

There's also an album called Simples, compiling some singles they made. It contains five tracks, recorded in 1971, some live tracks from 1972, and one track from 1975 (the only track where Brian appear). Also playing in the album, members of previous lineups: Francis Moze (bass), Louis Tosca (trumpet), François Cahen (keyboards), Teddy Lasrey (sax), Jerryr Seffer (sax).

This particular lineup included many songs that Eric had not previously performed (covers of Warren Zevon, Woody Guthrie or Bruce Springsteen´s ´Working life´, to name a few). They played good concerts in Spain. This lineup lasted about 3-4 months, when Zoot and Pat Crumly departed.

The Eric Burdon Band kept on as a trio for a while, playing in Germany and again in Spain:

ERIC BURDON BAND #?		1984

QUESTIONS:

01. Was Brian a member of Dick Morrissey Band?

02. Was Brian a member of Paz?

03. Has Brian been part of Bob Downes band or he just played on Crossing borders in a casual basis?

04. Does Brian play in Julie Driscoll's single ´ I Know You Love Me Not / If You Should Ever Leave Me´ from 1967? The A-side was written by him.

05. I think Full Monte recorded with Dominique Pifarely in 1996. Was that collaboration ever released?

06. Was Other Routes a band project, or just a studio project?

07. Was John Mitchell an original member of Mirage? That should mean: Godding / Cooke / Khan / Mitchell / Sheen.

08. Does really Brian play in Kevin Westlake´s solo album Stars fade (in hotel rooms)?

09. Was Brian involved in the 1975 edition of Centipede?

10. Did Harry Beckett play with Full Monte?
