BIOGRAPHY:

---

GO WEST

---

Go West is a band formed by Peter and Cox and Richard Drummie. They have had great backing musicians, and Jaz played with them, but I don´t have info about when. Help with info, please!

---

MOODY-MARSDEN BAND

---

Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden are friends since they started playing together in Whitesnake. They've been playing together under different bands and monickers. But their most usual name is Moody-Marsden Band. Their lineups aren't permanent, just both guitarists with different musicians.

This was the lineup around December 1991:

MOODY-MARSDEN BAND #?		Dec 91
Bernie Marsden guitar, vocals	Micky Moody guitar	Jaz Lochrie bass	Zak Starkey drums

They released a live album, Never turn our back on the blues, recorded live that same month.

---

CHAR (BAND)

---

Char is a Japanese guitar hero. He also employs British musicians. In his 1992 tour, he´s backed by:

PAUL RODGERS (BAND)

A great vocalist needs a great band. In January 1993, Geoff joins the band, usually billed as Paul Rodgers and Company:

PAUL RODGERS BAND #?		Jan 93-?

Now is a powerful album.

As a limited edition, the album Now has been packed as a 2CD, including a live album, called Live - The Loreley tapes, recorded at the Rockpalast Open Air Festival, Loreley, Germany, on July 8th, 1995. Superb sound, and fantastic performance. They play some covers from Paul past bands, such as Free ('All right now', 'The hunter', 'Mr. Big' or 'Wishing well') or Bad Company ('Can't get enough', 'Feel like makin' love').

Paul Rodgers changed completely his band at the beginning of 1998. But, in 1999, it has appeared a new studio album by Paul, with his former band (i.e. Paul with Geoff, Jaz & Jim). The album is called Electric.

---

BRITISH ROCK SYMPHONY

---

The same concept of blending rock and classical music, but this time a CD has been released (Jaz doesn´t appear there). It was followed by a British tour in July 1999. It was supposed to play in Spain, but finally, some dates were re-scheduled, so I finally don't know if they played here (the projected city was Santiago de Compostela, in July). This was the live lineup:

BRITISH ROCK SYMPHONY #?										1999
Roger Daltrey vocals	Gary Brooker vocals, piano	Paul Young vocals	Darlene Love vocals	Geoff Whitehorn guitar	Simon Townshend guitar, vocals	Jaz Lochrie bass	Jimmy Jewell keyboards	Zak Starkey drums	Keith Levenson musical conductor	Alvin Fields backing vocals	Nikki Lamborn backing vocals

---

NICKO MCBRAIN BAND

---

When powerful drummer Nicko McBrain is not busy with Iron Maiden, he usually plays with friends doing clinics. Another different version of the band was:

NICKO MCBRAIN BAND #?		2000
Chris George guitar	Geoff Whitehorn guitar	Jaz Lochrie bass	Nicko McBrain drums

They even played in Spain in July 2000.

---

PHILIP QUAST BAND

---

In August 2002, Jaz plays a few gigs with Philip Quast, along with studio ace Mitch Dalton:

PHILIP QUAST BAND #?					Aug 02
Philip Quast	Mitch Dalton guitar	Jaz Lochrie bass	Jason Robert Brown keyboards	Mark Glenworth percussion	Justin Woodward drums	Christopher Fish cello

From those concerts, a live album was released Live at the Donmar.

---

BAD COMPANY

---

Around 2002, Jaz rejoins Paul Rodgers, but this time inside Bad Company:

BAD COMPANY #?		2002
Paul Rodgers vocals	Dave ´Bucket´ Colwell guitar	Jaz Lochrie bass	Simon Kirke drums

And currently, I don't know the status of the band, as Paul Rodgers started touring with Queen. Any info, please?

---

NICKO McBRAIN BAND (again)

---

This was the personnel list in March 2003:

NICKO MCBRAIN BAND #?			2002-2003
Chris George guitar	Phil Hilborne guitar	Dave ´Bucket´ Colwell guitar	Jaz Lochrie bass	Nicko McBrain drums

Back in 2002, they had also backed Jim Marshall at the Marshall Amps 40th anniversary party.

---

ARC ANGELS

---

Another project with Nicko McBrain, but this time, it appears to be more stable. Around 2004, the new project is called Arc Angels:

ARC ANGELS #?		2004
Narada Michael Walden vocals	Phil Hilborne guitar	Jaz Lochrie bass	Nicko McBrain drums

They have been recording some tracks. I hope they'll finally be released.

MORE INFO...

---

Apart from playing in bands, Jaz has also been playing in musicals. As far as I know, they played for a while in Mamma mia! and in Billy Elliot in 2005.
