BIOGRAPHY:

One of the finest lead guitarists I've ever heard. He can play every style, always with a great taste and distinction. Tim Renwick was born as Timothy John Pearson Renwick in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England on August 7th, 1949. His career has been in close contact with Pink Floyd; the starting point was at school, as Tim was there with Roger Waters and Syd Barrett.

Tim Renwick (circa 1985)

WAGES OF SIN

Tim Renwick joins Wages Of Sin, circa 1968, replacing Ivan Carling:

WAGES OF SIN #?			1968
Tim Renwick guitar	Colin Freeman	Dino Dines † keyboards	Vic Farrar	Jerry Shirley drums

JACKIE LOMAX BAND

Tim was a member of Jackie Lomax Band, recording with him the single ´New day / Fall inside your eyes´. But I can´t find the other members. Maybe the same ones that recorded the single? Can someone help, please?

JUNIOR´S EYES

Junior's Eyes: from left to right: John Lodge, John Cambridge, Mick Wayne, Tim Renwick, Graham Kelly

Around 1969, Tim joins this fantastic band as 2nd guitarist to Mick Wayne:

JUNIOR´S EYES #?			1969-Feb 70
Graham Kelly vocals	Mick Wayne † guitar, vocals	Tim Renwick guitar	John Lodge bass	John Cambridge drums
	David Bowie Bandê	David Bowie Bandê	David Bowie Bandê	David Bowie Bandê

A 3rd single was released by the new lineup: ´Star child / Sink or swim´. After that, they embarked in a long tour to promote the album Battersea power station (Tim didn´t appear there, though). But something crossed in their destiny. Producer Tony Visconti asks them to act as backing band for David Bowie. All the band members (except vocalist Graham Kelly) appear in Space Oddity (for those who might not know, John Lodge appears under the nickname Honk).

Their tour was shared with playing as David Bowie's band. They also appeared with him in the BBC sessions for Dave Lee Travis Show in October 20th, 1969. They recorded three tracks with Bowie: ´Let me sleep beside you´, ´Unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed´ and´'Janine´. These tracks have circulated widely on bootleg albums.

This ´dedication´ to Bowie led to internal problems within the band, and they sadly took separate ways. Their last gig was on February 1970 (where they also backed Bowie!). Mick Wayne emigrated to America, to play with Joe Cocker. Meanwhile, Renwick and Cambridge stayed with Bowie under the name The Hype.

DAVID BOWIE BAND (aka THE HYPE)

After the lack of success of Junior's Eyes, part of the band was asked to back David Bowie for live concerts. The first known lineup is:

DAVID BOWIE BAND #?			?
	êJunior´s Eyes	êJunior´s Eyes	êJunior´s Eyes	êJunior´s Eyes
David Bowie † vocals	Mick Wayne † guitar, vocals	Tim Renwick guitar	John Lodge bass	John Cambridge drums

They recorded some sessions for the BBC in 1969 under the name David Bowie & Junior's Eyes.

Finally, after many years circulating in numerous bootleg albums, some of the Bowie BBC recordings have been officially released in year 2000. Bowie at the Beeb is a 2CD comprising 37 tracks recorded for the BBC between 1968 and 1972. Magnificent album, it was about time it was available to everybody! We can hear the best Bowie, and Mick Ronson never sounded better to me! The album contains two tracks recorded by Bowie with Junior's Eyes on 20/October/1969: ´Let me sleep beside you´ and ´Janine´ with the lineup shown above.

Other musicians featured in the album: Tony Visconti, Barry Morgan, Alan Hawkshaw, Tony Visconti, Steve Peregrine Took, Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder, Mick Woodmansey, and the lovely Dana Gillespie, among others. By the way, the first edition of this album includes a 3rd bonus disk with a Bowie live concert from June 2000 (with the great Earl Slick).

This period is quite unclear. Not long ago, it was announced an album with BBC sessions, and there is a track credited to David Bowie & The Hype, recorded in 1970, with this lineup (not including Tim Renwick): David Bowie (vocals, guitar), Mick Ronson (guitar), Tony Visconti (bass), John Cambridge (drums).

Soon later, they turned into The Hype, with John Cambridge suggesting his old bandmate in The Rats, Mick Ronson to join the band.

Now called The Hype, what a killer 3-piece guitar team!

David Bowie † vocals	Mick Wayne † guitar, vocals	Tim Renwick guitar	Mick Ronson † guitar	Tony Visconti bass	John Cambridge drums

In just one month, John Cambridge left the band, being replaced by the great one Mick ´Woody´ Woodmansey (another ex-member of The Rats).

But after a short period, Wayne and Renwick left the band.

LITTLE WOMEN

This little known band had some great musicians that later got fame. Playing, at different times: Rick Wills (bass), Dante Smith (keyboards), Jerry Shirley (drums, later to join Humble Pie), John ´Willie´ Wilson (drums). This was the lineup in December 1970:

LITTLE WOMEN #?		1970
Tim Renwick guitar	Rick Wills bass	Dante Smith keyboards	John ´Willie´ Wilson drums

The lineupr remained together in June 1971.

Any other info about them would be very welcomed!!

QUIVER

This was around 1970. The band was formed in Ladbroke Grove, London.

QUIVER #1	1970
Tim Renwick guitar	John Lodge bass

But Honk (John Lodge) left very soon.

Then, Tim Renwick teamed around 1970 with Canadian guitarist Cal Batchelor, forming the first complete lineup of the band:

QUIVER #2		1970
			êCochise
Tim Renwick guitar	Cal Batchelor † guitar, keyboards, vocals	Bruce Thomas bass	John ´Willie´ Wilson drums
Sutherland Brothers & Quiverê		Sutherland Brothers & Quiverê	Sutherland Brothers & Quiverê

They were the first group to play at Rainbow Theatre in London (supporting The Who).

Their first album, Quiver, was completed with help from great sax player Dick Parry. A superb album, it contains killer guitar duels (as in the great ´Killer man´), outstanding bass playing, and tight ryhthm on drums. Another great song is ´Reason for staying´. I wonder why this album is not released on CD!!

Their 2nd album is Gone in the morning, as magnificent as the 1st one. The self titled track, ´Gone in the morning´ is a masterpiece, and I also like ´I might stumble´ a lot.

Soon later, the whole band decided merging in late 1973 with Sutherland Brothers, forming Sutherland Brothers & Quiver, but Cal Batchelor decided to leave.

SUTHERLAND BROTHERS & QUIVER

As you can guess, Sutherland Brothers was a duo formed by brothers Iain & Gavin Sutherland. Now merged with Quiver, the new team consisted of:

SUTHERLAND BROTHERS #?				?
		êQuiver	êQuiver		êQuiver
Iain Sutherland † vocals, guitar	Gavin Sutherland vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	Bruce Thomas bass	Peter Wood † keyboards	John ´Willie´ Wilson drums

Their first album as this new unit was Dream kid, produced by Muff Winwood (from Spencer Davis Group fame).

When Bruce Thomas leaves Sutherland Brothers & Quiver, Tex Comer came to play with the band for a while, although he was still a member of Ace:

SUTHERLAND BROTHERS #?				?
Iain Sutherland † vocals, guitar	Gavin Sutherland vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	Terry ´Tex´ Comer bass	Peter Wood † keyboards	John ´Willie´ Wilson drums

Sutherland Brothers & Quiver

By the time of their second album, Beat of the street, also produced by Muff Winwood, Gavin handles bass duties:

SUTHERLAND BROTHERS #?			?
Iain Sutherland † vocals, guitar	Gavin Sutherland vocals, bass	Tim Renwick guitar	Peter Wood † keyboards	John ´Willie´ Wilson drums

Sutherland Brothers & Quiver

New changes for the third album, Reach for the sky, as Peter Wood leaves the band:

SUTHERLAND BROTHERS #?		?
Iain Sutherland † vocals, guitar	Gavin Sutherland vocals, bass	Tim Renwick guitar	John ´Willie´ Wilson drums

Produced by Ron & Howard Albert, it has the guest collaboration of David Gilmour (from Pink Floyd) on steel guitar.

Next album was called Slipstream. It includes the collaboration of Albhy Galuten (keyboards), a name usually associated with Bee Gees. This will lead Tim to several sessions, as we'll read... The album also features Flaco Pedron on percussion.

Tim and John left the band in 1976, after several world tours (one of them supporting Elton John), but they still played in a new album, Down to Earth. Recorded with lots of musicians and friends, we can find here: Tim Renwick (guitar), Mick Grabham (guitar), Ray Flacke (guitar), Andy Pyle (bass), Rick Wills (bass), John 'Rabbit' Bundrick (keyboards), John 'Willie' Wilson (drums), Brian Bennett (percussion, from The Shadows), John Shearer (percussion, later in Byron Band).

After they left, the brothers returned to the name The Sutherland Brothers.

Tim also appears in the compilation Sailing, named after their biggest hit, recorded when they were a duo (prior to join with Quiver).

JONATHAN KELLY BAND

Jonathan Kelly appeared on TV (on The Old Grey Whistle Test) in May 1973 performing two songs with a one-off lineup with some of his friends:

JONATHAN KELLY BAND #?		?
	êSutherland Brothers
Jonathan Kelly † vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	Mark Griffiths bass	Jeff Whittaker percussion

Kelly actually said something like ´I´d like to thank the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver for lending Tim Renwick for tonight´s show´ (thanks to NW for telling me this info back in 2004).

Already covered (2):	Mark Griffiths, Jonathan Kelly
To be covered (8):	Kuma Harada, Chaz Jankel, Darryl Lee Que, Dave Sheen, Tim Staffell, Snowy White, Jeff Whittaker, Trevor Williams

AL STEWART BAND

This was the great Al Stewart touring band in 1975:

AL STEWART BAND #?				1975
	êSutherland Brothers & Quiver
Al Stewart vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	Mark Griffiths bass	Peter White keyboards	Peter Wood † keyboards	Roger Swallow drums
	Sutherland Brothers & Quiverê

Tim Renwick was still a member of Sutherland Brothers & Quiver, but found time to be here.

Two of the major US tours that year were with Linda Ronstadt (the Heart like a wheel tour) and the very first Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band tour.

This was the great Al Stewart touring band in November 1976, with Renwick from Sutherland Brothers & Quiver and both Ford and Elliott from Steve Harley Band:

AL STEWART BAND #?				1976
Al Stewart vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	George Ford † bass	Peter White keyboards	Peter Wood † keyboards	Stuart Elliott drums

Tim appears in 6 albums by Al Stewart, but we'll read about that later.

JONATHAN KELLY BAND

Tim Renwick appeared on BBC television´s programme once with Jonathan Kelly. He played 'Down on Me' and another song, and Kelly said something like 'I'd like to thank the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver for lending Tim Renwick for tonight's show´.

Does anybody know the other musicians, please?

PROCOL HARUM

Procol Harum had lost their guitarist, Mick Grabham, in May 1977. That marked the split for the band. But, the band received an award, and they were asked to make a live appearance. So, they needed to find a guitarist for that one-off show. The chosen one was Tim Renwick! This was October 1977. Some old members of the band also joined for an special lineup:

PROCOL HARUM #8				Oct 77
Gary Brooker vocals, keyboards	Tim Renwick guitar	Alan Cartwright † bass	Chris Copping keyboards	B J Wilson † drums	+

Keith Reid
lyrics

They also backed singer Julie Covington there. The award show was broadcasted on TV. Who has a copy?!!

LAZY RACER

Lazy Racer was a studio band, assembled by producer Glyn Johns. He mixed musicians from UK (Renwick, Markee) with American singers and songwriters (Kelly Harland, Bill Lamb, Tim Gorman). The original lineup included drummer Kenny Jones:

LAZY RACER #1				?
Kelly Harland vocals	Bill Lamb vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals	Dave Markee bass	Tim Gorman keyboards, vocals	Kenny Jones drums

But Jones was soon replaced by Henry Spinetti.

This was the new lineup:

LAZY RACER #2				?
Kelly Harland vocals	Bill Lamb vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals	Dave Markee bass	Tim Gorman keyboards, vocals	Henry Spinetti drums

They released their first, self-titled, album, Lazy Racer. This is what Billboard magazine said about it in June 1979:

´Lazy Racer is a half-American, half-British band that has the capabilities of featuring four vocalists and four writers. The tempo of the album is low-keyed yet the music is packed full of superior musicianship. Female vocalist Kelly Harland gives an extra dimension to the vocals. The writing throughout the album is superior and the delivery, thanks to the muscle of guitarist Bill Lamb, keyboardists Harland and Tim Gorman, drummer Henry Spinetti, bassist Dave Markee and lead guitarist Tim Renwick brings the package together. Love ballads comprise a good portion of the album with enough doses of rock in between. Best cuts: ´Keep on running away´, ´Every other day´, ´One heartache´.´

This was followed by a second one, Formula II, recorded with the same lineup, plus help from Pat Donaldson, and minus Dave Markee. There was filmed a video promo for one of the songs, ´Heart of hearts´.

After moderate success of both albums, the band finally split, without having played any live gigs.

Lazy Racer´s 2nd album, Formula II, says the band lineup is:

LAZY RACER #2				?
Kelly Harland vocals	Bill Lamb vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals	Pat Donaldson bass	Tim Gorman keyboards, vocals	Henry Spinetti drums

ELTON JOHN BAND

After appearing as a sessionman in Elton´s A single man, Tim Renwick was asked to play in Elton´s world tour in 1980:

ELTON JOHN BAND #?				1980
Elton John vocals, keyboards	Tim Renwick guitar	Richie Zito guitar	Dee Murray † bass	James Newton Howard keyboards	Nigel Olsson drums

MIKE OLDFIELD BAND

This is the personnel for the Mike Oldfield Band in their Five Miles Out Tour from April to July 1982:

GARY BROOKER BAND #1			Feb 83
Gary Brooker vocals, keyboards	Tim Renwick guitar	John Giblin bass	Tim Cross † keyboards	Henry Spinetti drums

ROGER WATERS BAND

From July 1984, Roger Waters starts his first solo tour with a great all-star lineup, promoting his album The pros and cons of hitch-hiking:

ROGER WATERS BAND #1				Jun 84-Jul 84
Roger Waters vocals, guitar, bass	Eric Clapton guitar	Tim Renwick guitar, bass	Chris Stainton keyboards, bass	Michael Kamen † keyboards	Mel Collins sax

Doreen Chanter

Katie Kissoon
backing vocals

Eric Clapton, Tim Renwick and Chris Stainton left the band after the first leg of the tour couple of months later, in August 1984. But they were to play together again very soon...

THE TEX MANIACS

In 1988, Tim Renwick teamed with his mate, the great Andy Roberts, who was leading The Tex Maniacs, a sort of reunion of friends. They didn't had an stable lineup, and musicians came and went depending on availability.

This was the lineup in December 1984:

THE TEX MANIACS #?				Dec 1984
Andy Roberts vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	B J Cole steel guitar	Paul Riley bass	Al Stewart sax	Howard Tibble drums

They were sometimes joined by mate Melanie Harrold on vocals.

Other musicians that played in the band are: Ian Campbell (bass) or Bob Loveday (violin).

For a while, they were joined by Mike Berry, the legendary singer from the 60s. But, after some months, everyone came back to other commitments, and the band never rejoined again, as far as I know.

ERIC CLAPTON BAND

But, after a while, Tim Renwick joins as second guitarist:

ERIC CLAPTON BAND #?				1984-1985
Eric Clapton vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	Donald ´Duck´ Dunn † bass	Chris Stainton keyboards	Jamie Oldaker † drums	Shaun Murphy backing vocals

Marcy Levy
backing vocals

A great lineup. I remember I saw a concert on TV, back in 1985, and I was captivated by what I saw. Not only by Eric, but also by Tim. This was the 1st time I saw Tim ´in action´. They played great guitar duets. The video was officially released as Live 1985.

In July 1985, Eric and his band play in the Live Aid macrofestival, augmented by drummer Phil Collins.

For a short period, they are joined by another keyboardist, veteran Peter Robinson:

ERIC CLAPTON BAND #?				1985
Eric Clapton vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	Donald ´Duck´ Dunn † bass	Chris Stainton keyboards	Peter Robinson keyboards	Jamie Oldaker † drums

Around October 1985, Marcy Levy is replaced by Laura Creamer, and Peter Robinson leaves:

ERIC CLAPTON BAND #?				Oct 85-Nov 85
Eric Clapton vocals, guitar	Tim Renwick guitar	Donald ´Duck´ Dunn † bass	Chris Stainton keyboards	Jamie Oldaker † drums	Shaun Murphy backing vocals

Laura Creamer

When the tour ends, in November 1985, all the band members leave (Eric was soon to assemble a smaller band, with Phil Collins).

PINK FLOYD

In 1987, when Pink Floyd comes to life again, David Gilmour thinks of Tim Renwick for live concerts. It's September 1987:

PINK FLOYD #14				Sep 87-Nov 87

Jon Carin

This was an expanded lineup (4 backing vocalists!) for Pink Floyd in November 1987:

For the rest of the tour (November 1987 to August 1988), they used the same initial lineup:

PINK FLOYD #16				Nov 87-Aug 88
David Gilmour guitar, vocals	Rick Wright † keyboards, vocals	Nick Mason drums	+	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals	Guy Pratt bass, vocals

Jon Carin
keyboards, vocals

Rachel Fury

Durga McBroom

Margaret Taylor

After the tour is finished in August 1988 (almost a complete year!! - they played in Spain in July 1988), they released a double live album, Delicate thound of thunder (recorded 18 to 22 August 1988), as well as a live video with the same title (100 minutes, 16 songs). Since then, Tim is called when the band is back on the road.

I've seen several concerts by them, and Tim's work is really superb here! It was also broadcasted a special concert from Venice, Italy.

Oh, I almost forgot! The vinyl version has one track missing, ´Us and them´, so be careful...

The band is not active all the time, so when they aren't touring, Tim keeps playing with many more people, as we're going to see.

MIKE + THE MECHANICS

This is the band formed by Mike Rutherford (from Genesis) with great singers Paul Young and Paul Carrack. Tim joined the quintet for their 1989 tour:

MIKE + THE MECHANICS #2				1989
Paul Young † vocals	Paul Carrack vocals, keyboards	Mike Rutherford guitar, bass	Tim Renwick guitar	Adrian Lee keyboards	Peter Van Hooke drums

PINK FLOYD (again)

A new European tour is scheduled from May to July 1989. The same lineup as in 1987, except one of the vocalists had changed:

TRIBUTE TO JOHN LENNON BAND

In May 1990, when 10 years had passed since John Lennon´s death, it was held a tribute concert. It was a long, interesting list of artists, but the list of backing musicians was also impressive:

The Kick Horns

PINK FLOYD (again)

On June 30th, 1990, Pink Floyd plays at Knebworth Festival. It was a benefit festival with many big names: I remember Cliff Richard, Status Quo, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant (with Jimmy Page in some songs), Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Elton John. The special lineup for this concert was quite similar to the one in their last tour, but it includes some guests: Michael Kamen and Clare Torry (original featured vocalist in Dark side of the moon):

PINK FLOYD #?				Jun 90
David Gilmour guitar, vocals	Rick Wright † keyboards, vocals	Nick Mason drums	+	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals	Guy Pratt bass, vocals

Some time later, it was released a live album of the event, as well as a double DVD.

PROCOL HARUM (again)

New life for the mythical band when Brooker starts the band again in August 1991 (after their separation in 1977). Tim Renwick was asked to play in the USA tour promoting the album Prodigal stranger, as Robin Trower wasn't interested in touring. Mark Brzezicki is the chosen one for the very difficult task of getting the sticks (after their great drummer, B.J. Wilson, sadly died):

PROCOL HARUM #9				Aug 91-Dec 91

But in December 1991, Renwick left (being replaced by the incredible Geoff Whitehorn).

By the way, rumour has it about Tim Renwick appearing in the Prodigal stranger album. At least, he worked on the demos in England. Has anyone more info about that?

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CONCERT (DAVID GILMOUR BAND)

On December 28th, 1991, it was held the Amnesty International 30th Anniversary Concert. David Gilmour was the musical director, and he got some of his friends and colleagues for the band. They backed Tom Jones and Spinal Tap. The lineup was:

DAVID GILMOUR BAND #?				Dec 91
David Gilmour guitar, vocals	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals	Pino Palladino bass	Jon Carin keyboards, vocals	Stuart Brooks trumpet	Dave Bishop sax

Mark Nightingale

Dick Hayes

Andy Jackson

Most of them were known to David Gilmour (some were part of Pink Floyd live band; he had played with Jody Linscott in Deep End; and some others appear in Sam Brown solo albums, along with David).

On October 11th, 1992, there is another benefit event, at the Chelsea Arts Ball, with a stellar lineup, very close to Pink Floyd lineup:

DAVID GILMOUR BAND #?				Oct 92
David Gilmour guitar, vocals	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals	Guy Pratt bass	Jon Carin keyboards, vocals	Jody Linscott percussion	Gary Wallis drums

Sam Brown
backing vocals

Some guests appearing in the gig were Rick Wright & Nick Mason, plus Tom Jones, Hugh Cornwell (from The Stranglers), Mica Paris, Elvis Costello and others.

BARRY VENN & THE DOLPHINS

Barry Venn changed the band name, as it started to be his own band without a stable lineup, only friends and colleagues that played with him. Clem Clempson appeared several times with them. In September 1993, the lineup was:

BARRY VENN & THE DOLPHINS #?				Sep 93
Barry Venn vocals, guitar	Clem Clempson guitar	Rob Burns bass	Tim Hinkley keyboards	John ´Willie´ Wilson drums	+ sometimes, some of:

Snowy White

Dick Heckstall-Smith †

Raphael Ravenscroft †

They used to play lots of blues standards, as well as covers of songs by Fleetwood Mac and Cream.

Barry Venn continued under this name with some other famous musicians (such as Neil Hubbard). Other great guests and friends that used to play with the band were: Phil May (from Pretty Things), David Gilmour (from Pink Floyd fame), Tim Renwick, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Raf Ravenscroft, Tony O'Malley, just to name a few.

PINK FLOYD (again)

In September 1993, Pink Floyd are asked to play in a benefit concert for a hospital. They agree to play there, and they appear with an unusual lineup (half Pink Floyd, half Mike + The Mechanics, I'd say!):

PINK FLOYD #?				Sep 93
David Gilmour guitar, vocals	Rick Wright † keyboards, vocals	Nick Mason drums	+	Paul Young † vocals	Tim Renwick guitar, vocals

Mike Rutherford
bass, vocals

Adrian Milne

Gary Wallis
drums

At the beginning of 1994, it's time for a new tour for Pink Floyd, in order to promote The division bell, where Tim also appears. The tour starts in March 1994, and it marks the return of an old friend, sax player Dick Parry:

PINK FLOYD #?				Mar 94-?

Again, after the tour, a double live album was released, Pulse, (quite peculiar, the album package has a flashing red light, blinking all the time). It was also released a live video (now a fantastic DVD). The album includes the complete live performance of the Dark side of the moon album.

This tour was the 2nd time Pink Floyd played in Spain (July 1994).

MIKE + THE MECHANICS (again)

As with Pink Floyd, this band is not active all the time, due to other commitments by main members. But in 1995, they make a new tour, and Tim is called again. The tour lasted until 1996:

MIKE + THE MECHANICS #2			1995-1996
Paul Young † vocals	Paul Carrack vocals, keyboards	Mike Rutherford guitar, bass	Tim Renwick guitar	Gary Wallis drums

At this point, the band is a trio, as past members Adrian Lee and Pete Van Hooke are no more with them. But, they know how to choose great musicians to complete the lineup!

PAUL CARRACK BAND

This was the fantastic Paul Carrack Band around January 1997:

PAUL CARRACK BAND #?			1997
Paul Carrack vocals, guitar, keyboards	Tim Renwick guitar	Dave Bronze bass	Toby Chapman keyboards	Gary Wallis drums

ALAN PARSONS BAND

In June 1999, Alan Parsons played a benefit concert for the Nelson Mandela's Children Fund in Munich. This was the band that backed him:

Cruisin´ 1964 - The Zombies ( - )

Members: Rod Argent, Colin Blunstone
Guests: Tim Renwick
Comments: Sometime around the 70s, The Zombies recorded a new version of their hit 'She's not there'. But as their guitarist, Paul Atkinson, wasn't available, they called Tim Renwick for the recording (along with Colin Blunstone (vocals), Rod Argent (keyboards), Chris White (bass), Hugh Grundy (drums)). I don't know if they recorded more tracks. ´She´s not there´ finally appeared in a Canadian compilation album, called Cruisin' 1964.

QUESTIONS:

01. Did The Tex Maniacs reunite again in 1988? With Tim Renwick?

02. Can someone help me with the lineup for the Tim Renwick live bands backing Tom Jones, Robin Gibb, Andy Gibb, Gilbert O´Sullivan, Murray Head, Maggie Reilly, Nick Heyward and Jackie Lomax?

03. Did Tim tour with China Crisis? I think I once read a concert review in a Spanish newspaper, but I´m not sure.

04. Humpy Bong was a band featuring Jonathan Kelly, Tim Staffell (from Smile and Morgan - the latter, with Morgan Fisher), Colin Petersen. Once I read that Tim Renwick played some sessions with them. This should be very early 70s. Has anyone info about it?

05. Has Tim played with Bridget St John?

06. Did Tim play in the sessions for the Bee Gees´ Staying alive album? Or in any other own sessions by Bee Gees?

07. Were there more drummers in Quiver, such as Conrad Isidore or Timi Donald?

08. Does Tim Renwick appear in the Bee Gees tracks on the Stayin´ alive soundtrack?

There is a very rare German-only 7" from '67 by The Wages Of Sin. Definitely a UK-band. Tracks are "Hey Joe"/"N.S.U." The cover shows 4 young guys. Label is: Paletten Rec. SCH 5. Might well be T. Renwick's band, but I know of another Wages Of Sin from Birmingham, so...

Hi, Anonymous

Thanks for your comment.

The "Hey Joe / NSU" single that you mention is from The Wages Of Sin, but it's the band from Birmingham.

Hello, You asked for information about Tim Renwick appearing on a TV show with Jonathan Kelly. The Show was the Old Grey Whistle Test, introduced by Bob Harris. They played two songs, 'All In A New Light' and 'Down On Me' from Jonathan Kelley's album 'Wait Till They Change The Backdrop' the musicians on the show were, Jonathan Kelly, Tim Renwick, Jeff Whittaker & Mark Griffiths. The show was erased by the BBC, only a poor quality audio recording survives. Kindest regards. Gerald Sables. Jonathan Kelly Website.s
