BIOGRAPHY:
Keyboard virtuoso, to me Brian Chatton has never achieved the appreciation he deserved. He was born Brian Charles Chatton on July 19th, 1948 in Bolton, England. His career started in the early 60s.
THE THREE JETS
The Three Jets was an early band formed by Brian Chatton and Barry Reynolds, probably around 1961:
But I haven´t any other info about them. If someone could help with the other members, period, etc., it would be very appreciated.

WARRIORS
Brian Chatton joined Warriors around November 1965, when their original lead guitarist Mike Brereton left. Then, Rod Hill, who was rhythm guitarist, switched to lead, and they looked for a keyboardist:
In August 1967, Jon Anderson leaves the band.
Warriors carried on in August 1967 as a quartet:
But they finally parted ways sometime in 1968.

FLAMING YOUTH
Flaming Youth was the new name for the band Hickory in the spring of 1969:
They were managed by Ken Howard / Alan Blaikey team, and were originally formed to serve as backing band for John Walker (from Walker Brothers), but they went their own way instead.
They released an album, fully composed by Howard & Blaikley, called Ark 2.
After a while, Flaming Youth augmented the lineup for touring, including sax player Dave Brook:
But after some months, Brian Chatton left.

An album was released from those performances, called Rock follies.

THE ALL STAR ROCK BAND
This was an awesome project, The All Star Rock Band, where Jon Anderson and Brian Chatton reunited after many years. What a lineup!!
Sadly, they only played a one-off concert (at ´Live Music Show´ in London, in July 1979), but didn't record any material.

THE HOLLIES
In 1981, Brian Chatton wrote a song for mythical band The Hollies, ´Take my love and run´. It was a hit, and Brian was asked to play with them in TV appearances promoting the album:

MEAT LOAF BAND
This was Meat Loaf´s superb backing band, Neverland Express, for their tour in 1984-1985:
But I have a video recording from 1985, it´s a German TV appearance to promote the Bad attitude album, and it seems the lineup has been reduced (Bob Kulick is not there, and I don´t see Kati Mac). Was this a real live lineup, or just a special one-off gig?

BOYS DON´T CRY
Jeff Seopardie´s next project was the band Boys Don't Cry. Mostly a joint project with singer Nick Richards, they had a very good live lineup:
They released several albums, having a big hit with the song ´I wanna be a cowboy´ (this song was later used in the soundtrack for the movie The last boy scout, starring Bruce Willis). Many years later, this song was in the news again, as Seopardie / Chatton / Ramsden & Richards have sued Kid Rock for plagiarism on his song 'Cowboy', as it´s supposed he has copied their song.

AND THEN...
And then, I haven´t more info about Brian´s musical activities. I think he worked in some solo albums, as well as developing his Uzlot project with mate Jon Anderson and Stuart Hamm, but I never knew if it finally materialized.
As a composer, he wrote Sheena Easton´s hit ´Madness, money and music´.

THE MYSTIC ORCHESTRA
This was a project trying to capture the feeling of listening to many rock anthems, covers of famous tunes by Led Zeppelin, Cream, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix. The show was called Flashback - The Classic Rock Experience, with a great live band, including Spanish metal singer, Jose Antonio Manzano. This was part of the lineup around August 2008:
I need info about additional members, as well as knowing if there were different lineups. In the beginning, other names were announced as part of the band, such as Derek St Holmes. Can someone help here, please?

QUESTIONS:
01. Brian was supposed to be part of Flashback The Rock Experience along with Phil Hilborne and Derek St Holmes, but don´t know if he finally played with them. Anybody knows?
02. Did Brian produce some album by the band Choke?
03. Who were the other band members in Eric Burdon Band? Maybe Kenny Parry, Dave Dover? And the drummer: Les Binks or maybe Terry McCurker? Help, please! The year should be 1976...
04. Was Brian a member of the live bands of Jon Anderson and Phil Collins, or did he only played with them in the early bands?
