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:

|---|---|---|---|
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:

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:

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:
They even played in Spain in July 2000.

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

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

jaz lochrie owes his success to his great playing and his lovely way about him but also to me and a band we were in together called "lorna and the solution". lorna stuckey was a fantastic blues singer and i wrote for her. we advertised for musicians to record the stuff and made some interesting music when jaz joined on bass. the engineer on our sessions was a good mate of gary stephenson, producer of GO WEST. he told gary about jaz's amazing playing and jaz joined go west soon after. this was in 1985 i think and jaz, though not yet in BAD COMPANY was always very good company indeed.
