BIOGRAPHY:
Great guitarist, Dave Tedstone has played with many great bands and players. His lengthy career is very difficult to trace, so I try to place here all the details I know. Proof of Dave Tedstone´s great versatility on guitar can be shown if we realize that he was called to perform live the work that great guitarists had played on record (such as Jimmy Page on the Cartoone album, Gary Moore on the Granny´s Intentions album or Ronnie Wood on the Nicky Hopkins album).
I haven´t biographical info about Dave, but I think he was born in Hereford, as some of his first bands were based there. His first band was The Cruisers (from 1959 to 1961), an amateur band that went pro for a short period, but then, Dave and Lee Starr (real name, Jon Best) moved to Lee Starr And The Astrals in 1962.
LEE STARR AND THE ASTRALS
Lee Starr And The Astrals was formed in 1962, after a change of name from The Cruisers. This was a different lineup for the band, probably one of the earliest ones:
One more thing. Lee Starr And The Astrals backed singer Kenny Hollywood (who released his famous single ´Magic star´ in 1962), for live gigs. Which lineup of the band was then?
There are some compilations of Joe Meek productions, where some tracks by Lee Starr And The Astrals appear (they weren´t released as a singles on their own; they only appear in these later compilations). Some of the tracks are: ´Come back to me´ and ´Walkin´ with my angel´, both featured in the 4CD boxset by Joe Meek: Portrait of a genius - the RGM legacy (2005). Again the question is, does Tedstone appear in these tracks?
This was another lineup of Lee Starr And The Astrals, probably around 1964:
Sometime later, they became a quintet with the addition of Verden Allen.
Lee Starr And The Astrals becomes a quintet when Verden Allen joins (when this happened, 1964 or 1966?):
But Tedstone left the band around January/February 1966, moving to London to play some auditions.

DOC THOMAS GROUP
This was one of the lineups for Doc Thomas Group, a band from Herefordshire, formed from another local band The Buddies:
They recorded a self-titled album, Doc Thomas Group, in October 1966 and released only in Italy in January 1967. It was later reissued on CD under the new title The Italian job, with lots of bonus tracks (also from the band The Silence).
By the way, it seems that the band recorded 6-8 additional tracks located in the missing master tapes and thus remain unreleased. If anyone would know something about it, please let me know!
When drummer Bob Hall left Doc Thomas Group, Dale Buffin Griffin arrived:
Next to leave was Dave Tedstone, leaving the band as a quartet.

FREDDIE MAC BAND
In April 1967, Dave Tedstone joined the massive Freddie Mac Band, full of great players:
Roger Truth left the band a month or two afterwards.
When Roger Truth left Freddie Mac Band, he was replaced by two great drummers at the same time, Ron Berg and Terry Stannard:
I´m sure there were more lineups featuring Tedstone, but this info is so complicated to find!!
Tedstone left the band in January 1968.

CARTOONE
Dave Tedstone joined Cartoone after their 1st album had been released, after Mike Allison left the band:
The band recorded tracks for a second album that was never released (working title, Reflections), although some of the tracks appear as bonus in the deluxe edition CD of the album (some bonus include Dave Tedstone, some others include Les Harvey).
Tedstone pulled out of the Cartoone USA tour just several weeks before it began, being replaced by the late Les Harvey. Cartoone supported Led Zeppelin on that tour from April to June 1969, as they shared management and record label.

SALT & PEPPER
This was a band led by Junior Marvin (still known as Junior Kerr, and playing organ at that time). Dave Tedstone joined the band and stayed for 6 months in the latter part of 1970. They rehearsed and recorded several demos for DJM. Earlier demos had Micky Keene on guitar. The demos with Tedstone also included Bobby Tench on rhythm guitar as well as backing vocals, and Clive Chaman (Ed Spevock wasn´t the drummer at the demos, and I don´t know who else was at those sessions).
For some gigs over Christmas, they expanded into a bigger band, with Murray Head and Bobby Tench on vocals.
But this project was short-lived, and Junior changed his name to Junior Hanson, for starting a brand new project, Hanson.

HERBIE GOINS & THE NIGHT TIMERS
Dave Tedstone was also a member of Herbie Goins & The Night Timers:
Maybe this happened in 1970?
There is some LP acetate from an album recorded at Trident Studios by this lineup about 1970/1, probably with the contribution of Chris Mercer on sax, but as far as I know, this has never been released. Anyone knows/has a copy of that, please!!?
Joe Moretti (who had been a member of the band but when Ronnie Jones was the lead singer) also played some gigs as a guest with the band.
Next change in Herbie Goins & The Night Timers was the bassist, as John Perry left the band being replaced by the great Phil Chen:

GRANNY´S INTENTIONS
Dave Tedstone was a member of the revamped edition of Granny´s Intentions (renamed as Granny´s New Intentions), probably in mid 1970 (as their lead guitarist John Hockedy left the band in June 1970). This is my guess for the lineup:
The band established a regular weekly date at London´s Marquee, and toured Ireland, with/staying at Phil Lynott's home. Hopes of a follow up album were dashed by lack of sales. In attendance at their residency were Gary Moore, Henry McCullough and Alan Cartwright (an old mate of Tedstone in Freddie Mac band).

GLENN ´ROSS´ CAMPBELL BAND
After August 1971, when most of the members of Juicy Lucy left the band, Glenn ´Ross´ Campbell approached some of the original members in order to form a new band, and Dave Tedstone was called to be the guitarist in that project:
They started rehearsals, and made some home recordings, but finally, Tedstone got the call from Juicy Lucy, so he abandoned this project. I guess the band finally went nowhere...

JUICY LUCY
But Marsden´s stay in Juicy Lucy was really brief, being substituted by Dave Tedstone. This was the band around November 1971:
But Jean Roussel left after a few weeks, to join Cat Stevens live band.
For a while, Juicy Lucy stayed without keyboardist, after the departure of Jean Roussel:
But they got Mike Deacon a little later.
Mike Deacon was the new keyboardist for Juicy Lucy:
Andy Pyle´s replacement was Chrissie Stewart:
This was Juicy Lucy for the 1972 tour supporting Joe Cocker, with Terry Stannard as their new drummer:
There were some other lineups, with Frankie Miller as lead vocalist after Paul Williams left, and Bobby Harrison replacing Miller, before the band splitting in 1972, but I haven´t been able to find the complete details. Help, please! Also, Nick Judd was part of the band, but cannot place him in the timeline...

Tedstone played 3 tours with the band, but no recordings.
On the USA tour in Christmas 1972, Status Quo were third on the bill, Manfred Mann Earth Band were second, and Savoy Brown headlined. They also shared top billing with Deep Purple on the next tour. And there were radio and TV appearances.

They appeared on several British TV programs miming to the hit record, ´Heart of stone´.

After the demise of his first attempt of a live band for touring, Nicky Hopkins and Dave Tedstone called some of Dave´s mates from Fat Mattress, and they were the musicians for the tour promoting No more changes:
But the tour soon collapsed when Hopkins claimed ill health.

Grabham was replaced by another great one, James Litherland.
This was the the next edition of United:

TONY O´MALLEY BAND
During the eighties, Tony O´Malley played gigs in clubs in London and around the UK and Europe. Dave Tedstone was the guitarist for one of those lineups, credited as Tony O´Malley And Friends, in the late 80s (probably 1986 or 1987), replacing Neil Hubbard who had left to join Frankie Miller:
When Tedstone left, he was replaced by Henry McCullough.
