BIOGRAPHY:
Amazing guitarist. Pick any album including his name, and you won't be disappointed! He also has his own solo albums, as we're going to see.
Geoff Whitehorn was born on August 29th, 1951.
Geoff Whitehorn
THE SUNBEATS
Geoff Whitehorn's first band The Sunbeats comprised:
|
THE SUNBEATS #? |
1963-1966 |
Norton Hodges
vocals | | David Smith
guitar | Lee Abbott
bass | Clive Marsh
drums |
All of them were Gravesend boys 1963-1966. Geoff's talent showed through from the start. This boy band played at Co-op halls, school dances, local parks, town hall, etc.
SPINNING WHEEL
Around 1969, this was the lineup of this that already contained musicians that were to become very famous:
|
SPINNING WHEEL #? |
1969-1970 |
Mike Starrs
vocals | | | Pete Sills
bass | Rick Wakeman
keyboards | |
Rick Wakeman was replaced by John Stevenson in 1970.
In 1970, John Stevenson joins Spinning Wheel:

IF

A superb band. After several albums, the original lineup split, but some months later, with sax player Dick Morrisey as the only remaining member, he recruited young talented musicians. In August 1973, this was the new lineup:
|
IF #? |
Aug 73-? |
Dick Morrissey †
sax | | Mike Tomich
bass, vocals | Gabriel Magno
keyboards, vocals | Cliff Davies †
drums, vocals |
They stayed in London four months to do concerts and to record
Not Just Another Bunch Of Pretty Faces, before starting their American and Canadian tour. The album was recorded with help from bassist Walt Monaghan (from Mick Abrahams Band), who was to substitute Mike Tomich sometime later.

HELP, PLEASE!!

I'm trying to locate a copy of a televised If concert. The concert was held in the States in 1974 (or maybe even 1975). It was held in the Midwest of Eastern America, and on the same ticket was The Eagles, Chamber Bros., Stories and Renaissance. It was hosted by legendary Wolfman Jack.
Please, I need to locate a copy of this concert. If someone can help me, please, write me to

MAGGIE BELL BAND
After the demise of her band, Stone the Crows, Maggie Bell started a solo career. Geoff joins her band in 1975.
|
MAGGIE BELL BAND #? |
1975 |
Maggie Bell
vocals | | + others unknown to me. Help!
|
They toured the States opening for Bad Company (this will lead to some important contacts for Geoff, as we'll read...).
NIGHTRIDER (?)
Someone wrote to me telling that:
I have this vague recollection of seeing a band at the Battle of Britain pub in Gravesend - long gone I assume - around '74/75, which I was told had Geoff Whitehorn playing guitar during breaks from touring with Maggie Bell. I can't remember the name of the band, possibly Nightrider (??) but the bass player was named Josh.
I seem to remember that the other lead guitarist was possibly a lecturer?
They used to do a mean version of Argent's ´Hold your head up´.
Can someone give me more info about it, please?
FANTASY
This was a band formed around 1970, first under the name Chapel Farm. They split in 1974, but in 1976, their singer brings the band to life again with a new lineup, including Geoff Whitehorn:
|
FANTASY #? |
1976 |
Paul Lawrence
vocals, guitar | | David Read
bass | Nick Page
keyboards | Malcolm Page
drums |
They recorded six tracks before splitting, and they were never released. But in 1994, a CD called
Vivariatum has been issued including these 6 tracks, plus six tracks from the original lineup from 1970.
There are also some bonus tracks in the album
Beyond the beyond with Geoff.
CRAWLER
The band Back Street Crawler was commanded by the great Paul Kossoff. But he sadly died on March 1976. So the band found an adequate replacement with Geoff Whitehorn. Shortening the name to Crawler, and with some lineup changes, they were:
|
CRAWLER #1 |
Mar 76-1979 |
Terry Wilson-Slesser
vocals | | Terry Wilson
bass | John ´Rabbit´ Bundrick
keyboards | Tony Braunagel
drums |
By the way, Geoff also appears in last album by Back Street Crawler, called
Second street, to finish some of parts that Paul Kossoff couldn't record due to his sad demise.
As Crawler, they started a new tour in May 1976. Sometimes, they played low-key gigs under the name The Rhythm Kings. Their first album was called
Crawler, with help from Chris Wood (flute, from Traffic) and Stevie Lange (backing vocals). It was followed by a second one, named
Snake rattle and roll. But sometime later, they split in 1979.
Several years later a live album was released from that lineup, called
Pastime dreamer, containing a concert from 1978. Sometime later,, it has appeared another live album,
Concert classics vol. 10.
FILTHY MCNASTY
Filthy McNasty was a parallel band formed by great singer Chris Thompson (who was lead vocalist in Manfred Mann Earth Band at that time). Some of the members also played in other bands (Geoff Whitehorn was still a member of Crawler).
|
FILTHY MCNASTY #1 |
?-Nov 78 |

êElton John Band |
êElton John Band |
êCrawler |
|

|
Chris Thompson

keyboards | |
Nightê | Nightê | Crawlerê | Nightê | | |
In April 1978, they played at The Bridge House, Canning Town, London. It was released a collective live album,
Live: a week at the Bridge E16, shared with several more bands: Jackie Lynton's Happy Days, Gerry McAvoy Jam, Salt, Remus Down Boulevard and Roll Ups. Filthy McNasty are featured in 3 tracks.
The band even recorded a live album at The Marquee, which sadly still remains unreleased.
Filthy McNasty evolved quickly into Night in November 1978 (with Chris Thompson, Stevie Lange and Billy Kristian), with Robbie McIntosh instead of Geoff.
MAGGIE BELL BAND (again)
For a gig at the Royal Albert Hall, Maggie Bell was backed by a one-off all-star lineup:
|
MAGGIE BELL BAND #? |
Jul 78 |
Maggie Bell
vocals | | Paul Martinez
bass | | Andy Mackay
sax | Ian Paice
drums |
This was July 1978. Oh, I wish I was there!!!
ROGER CHAPMAN & THE SHORTLIST
In June 1979, Geoff Whitehorn joins Roger Chapman for a very long association (he spent almost 10 years with Roger, until 1988, although he also shared these 'duties' with playing with Elkie Brooks).
This lineup remained together from June 1979 to August 1979:
|
ROGER CHAPMAN & THE SHORTLIST #4 |
Jun 79-Aug 79 |
Roger Chapman
vocals | | Tim Hinkley
keyboards | Jerome Rimson
bass | Mel Collins
sax | | | Kathi O´Donoghue
backing vocals |
Next step was to record a live album,
Live in Hamburg includes energetic renditions of The Rolling Stones ('
Let's spend the night together'), Mickey Jupp ('
Short list'), and the r'n'classic ´
I keep forgettin´´.
But Mel Collins leaves after the tour is over.
New recruitment is Nick Pentelow on sax. From August 79 to December 1980, this is the new, stable lineup:
|
ROGER CHAPMAN & THE SHORTLIST #5 |
Aug 79-Dec 80 |
Roger Chapman
vocals | | Tim Hinkley
keyboards | Jerome Rimson
bass | Nick Pentelow
sax | | | Kathi O´Donoghue
backing vocals | +
| Micky Moody
guitar - guest in April 1980 |
Micky Moody guested with the band during the gigs in April 1980.
Next album was
Mail order magic, recorded with these musicians: Geoff Whitehorn (guitar), Jerome Rimson (bass), John Wetton (bass), Tim Hinkley (keyboards), Poli Palmer (keyboards), Les Binks (drums), John Halsey (drums), Mitch Mitchell (drums).
ELKIE BROOKS BAND
Around 1979 (or maybe 1980), Elkie Brooks got Tim Hinkley as her musical director, thus assembling a great live band:
|
ELKIE BROOKS BAND #? |
1979 |
Elkie Brooks
vocals | | Jerome Rimson
bass | Tim Hinkley
keyboards | Poli Palmer
keyboards, vibes | Duncan Kinnell
percussion | |
The 1980 tour comprised 35 concerts.
As we can see, all of them played with Roger Chapman too.
Also in 1979, Geoff starts playing in live concerts for Elkie Brooks, when his commitments with Roger Chapman allowed him to do it. He was the band musical director from 1981 until 1983. But I don´t have info about the lineups for those tours. Can someone help here, please?
ROGER CHAPMAN & THE SHORTLIST (again)
In January 1981, the band is augmented with another very valuable addition, Steve Simpson, probably the musician who has stayed more years playing with Roger. Poli Palmer rejoins Roger (from their times together in Family in early 70s), and new bassist is legendary Boz Burrell.
|
ROGER CHAPMAN & THE SHORTLIST #6 |
Jan 81-1982 |
Roger Chapman
vocals | | Steve Simpson
guitar | Boz Burrell †
bass | Tim Hinkley

The album in 1981 is
Hyenas only laugh for fun. Recorded with Geoff Whitehorn (guitar), Steve Simpson (guitar), Jerome Rimson (bass), John Wetton (bass), Tim Hinkley (keyboards), Poli Palmer (keyboards), Nick Pentelow (sax), Stretch (drums), Alan Coulter (drums).
A new double live album is released with this lineup. Called
He was she was you was we was, it includes a cover of Jimi Hendrix's ´
Stone free´.
They stayed together until sometime in 1982 (I have a concert from June 1982, and Roger still had this lineup).
ELKIE BROOKS BAND (band)
For ´
The Pearls Tour´ (probably around 1982) Elkie has this superb backing band:
|
ELKIE BROOKS BAND #? |
? |
Elkie Brooks
vocals | | John Giblin
bass | Duncan Mackay
keyboards | Duncan Kinnell
percussion | John Lingwood
drums |
They released the live video

ROGER CHAPMAN & THE SHORTLIST (again)
New lineup until September 1982:

Mango crazy. The lineup is: Geoff Whitehorn (guitar), Steve Simpson (guitar), Boz Burrell (bass), Ronnie Leahy (keyboards), Duncan Mackay (keyboards), J. Cook (keyboards), Nick Pentelow (sax), Alan Coulter (drums).
A live album was released many years later,
The loft tapes volume 2.
CHUCK FARLEY
Note, this is a band, not a guy. Formed by superb guitarist Steve Simpson, this is a sort of superband, including great guests for gigs. They didn´t have a stable lineup, as in the vein of, let's say, Hinkley´s Heroes:
|
CHUCK FARLEY #? |
? |
Steve Simpson
guitar, vocals | | Boz Burrell †
bass, vocals | Poli Palmer
keyboards, percussion | Nick Pentelow

This is the lineup that recorded the self-titled

A live album was released in 1989 by this band, an EP called
Live in Berlin. Co-produced by Roger and Geoff, it only includes 4 (long) songs (around 30 minutes).
This was The Shortlist from December 1984 to summer of 1985, approximately:

This marks the end of Geoff Whitehorn´s collaboration with Roger Chapman, although later he still appeared guesting on some other album by Roger.
Apart from all these albums, there is another a couple of albums, where the whole band appears under pseudonym. The first album, credited to The Shortlist, is called
The riffburglar album, and Geoff is credited as Big George Heartburn. The second album, credited to The Riffburglars, is called
Swag.
BAD COMPANY
In June 1990, original guitarist Mick Ralphs leaves the band for some months, so they call Geoff Whitehorn to stand in. He tours with them promoting the album
Holy water (where he doesn't appear):
|
BAD COMPANY #? |
Jun 90 - Apr 91 |
Brian Howe
vocals | | | Simon Kirke
drums |
Geoff stays in the band until Mick Ralphs comeback in April 1991.
PROCOL HARUM
In January 1992, Geoff Whitehorn joins Procol Harum (where he still plays, appearing in almost every reunion by the band since then) after Tim Renwick leaves the band:
|
PROCOL HARUM #10 |
Jan 92-Apr 92 |
Gary Brooker
vocals, keyboards | | | Matthew Fisher
keyboards | | +
| Keith Reid
lyrics |
They played a long tour in 1992, but Matthew Fisher didn't stay for long this time, leaving in April 1992.
Don Snow replaces Matthew Fisher in Procol Harum in May 1992:

PROCOL HARUM #11 |
May 92-Jun 92 |
Gary Brooker
vocals, keyboards | | | Don Snow
keyboards | | +
| Keith Reid
lyrics |
| | Dr Feelgoodê | | | | |
Also that same month, they went to play again with Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (the same orchestra they used for recording their live album from 1971, with Dave Ball on guitar).
After finishing the tour, Dave Bronze comes back to Dr. Feelgood in June 1992.
Procol Harum played a special gig in August 1992, becoming Keith Fisher´s new return to the band. The bassist on that gig was the mighty Laurence Cottle as Dave Bronze was busy playing with The Hamsters:

After that, Brzezicki rejoined Big Country in February 1993.
PAUL RODGERS BAND
Studio photo of Paul Rodgers And Company (from left to right: Jaz Lochrie, Jim Copley, Paul Rodgers, Geoff Whitehorn)
A great vocalist needs a great band. In January 1993, Geoff Whitehorn joins the band, usually billed as Paul Rodgers and Company:
|
PAUL RODGERS BAND #? |
Jan 93-1998 |
Paul Rodgers
vocals | | | Jim Copley
drums |
Now is a powerful album, marked by Geoff killer riffs and solos. He also co-writes a song, ´
Saving grace´ (with Paul Rodgers and Neal Schon). I love the album. His playing in the song ´
Overloaded´ is like having Jimi Hendrix with us again. :)
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.
ROCK MEETS CLASSIC
In January 1993, the main singer in this agrupation is Bobby Kimball (from Toto). The musical director was German arranger Eberhard Schoener, and the rock musicians were:

Recorded with contributions from former band member Robin Trower (guitar on 1 track), plus Tom Jones (vocals), Jerry Hadley (vocals), Andy Fairweather-Low (guitar on 1 track), James Galway (flute), plus the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Dodd and Darryl Way (from Curved Air fame).

In June 1996, The Who were to play a charity gig for the Quadrophenia celebration, but Pete Townsend gets injured, being unable to play electric guitar, so Roger Daltrey calls Geoff to play with them during June and July.

BRITISH ROCK SYMPHONY
The same concept of blending rock and classical music, but this time a CD has been released. Recorded in July 1998, the basic band comprises:
Geoff Whitehorn (guitar)
Simon Townsend (guitar, vocals)
Phil Spalding (bass)
John 'Rabbit' Bundrick (keyboards)
Peter Gordino (keyboards)
Zak Starkey (drums)
With lots of great singers involved: Paul Rodgers, Eric Burdon, Roger Daltrey, Ann Wilson, etc. The songs are covers of classic songs by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Who.
The CD release by British Rock Symphony in 1999 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:

NHS
After Roland And The Rats, it was a band called NHS, often with Rufus on guitar as well. Occasionally Phil Hilborne would turn up.
TONY ASHTON BENEFIT CONCERT
A Tony Ashton benefit concert was held at the EMI Abbey Road Studios in London on Friday 16th, June 2000.
The ads were stating: "In recognition of his service to music & art above and beyond the call of duty free, and to celebrate his recovery from his recent illness, we would like to invite you to witness a unique musical testimonial to our old friend TONY ASHTON".
"Those taking part will include: Pete York, Geoff Whitehorn, Chris Barber, Eddie Hardin, Zoot Money, MASH, Johnny Johnson, Dave Williams, Bernie Marsden, Mick Moody, John Entwhistle, Zac (sic) Starkey, Joe Brown, Jon Lord and Ian Paice."
I'll soon include additional info about this concert.

GAMBLER MK II
This is funny... Drummer Barry Sibbett has two bands: Gambler and Gambler Mk II. Both bands consists of a few musicians who have known each other for a good few years. Gambler has appeared for more than 11 years every Monday at The Bear and Ragged Staff pub in Crayford, Kent, England. And Gambler Mk II does the same but on Thursdays with a slightly different lineup.
This is Gambler Mk II:
|
GAMBLER MK II #? |
? |
| Andy Robinson
guitar | Kevin Miller
bass | Barry Sibbett
drums |
As far as I know, they´ve only released one live album. There, the guitarist featured is Geoff Whitehorn, but Jerry Stevenson (from Gambler) was the engineer.
Other band members that play from time to time include: Jerry Stevenson (guitar, currently in Be Sharp), Roger Cotton (keyboards, vocals, he spent several years in Peter Green Splinter Group), Pete Shaw (bass), Toby Chapman (keyboards, vocals), Eddie Collins (drums), Nigel Bagge (guitar, vocals), Jeff Martin (guitar, vocals), etc.

SOLO ALBUMS
Geoff Whitehorn
Geoff has been recording his own solo albums along the years.
Whitehorn was recorded while he still was a member of If. Recorded with this lineup, including some members of the band:
Geoff Whitehorn (guitar, vocals)
Gerry Morris (bass)
Peter Arnesen (keyboards)
John Richardson (drums)
+
Tony Atkins (backing vocals, also producer)
Albert Lee (guitar)
Dick Morrisey (sax)
Lindsay Cooper (sax, flute)
Pat Donaldson (bass)
Cliff Davies (drums)
Gerry Conway (drums)
A single was released with two tracks from the album, ´Makin' it funky / Mama said´ (1975, Philips).
He also released a solo single in 1977, ´Love potion nº 9 / Throw away the key´ (1977, EMI).
His second album is funnily titled Geoff Who? It contains 12 instrumentals, where Geoff plays all of them. It includes a couple of covers: the theme song from the movie ´Escape from New York´ (the one directed -and also composed- by John Carpenter, starring Kurt Russell), and a precious rendition of the old Joe Zawinul track ´Mercy, mercy, mercy´.
His third album, Big in Gravesend, was recorded from December 1993 to February 1994, and again, he plays all the instruments, except a guitar solo by Phil Hilborne in one track. Geoff also sings three tracks: B.B. King's trademark, ´The thrill is gone´, also one song Geoff wrote with old mate Roger Chapman for the Mango crazy album, ´Turn it up loud´. And a funny rap (´The widdler's rap´) that includes a sort of medley imitating riffs from Bo Diddley, The Shadows and Cream.
There's also a sort of instructive, training book and CD called Jam with Geoff Whitehorn's Blues Jam Trax. The lineup in this CD is:
Geoff Whitehorn (guitar, vocals)
Joey F. Capistrano (bass)
Ron Keyes (keyboards)
Roland Alexis Buttah (drums)
There was also a projected instructional video to be released sometime, but I don´t know if it was finally released. Does anybody know, please?

- Comments:
Roger Waters performed The Wall live at a special benefit concert in Berlin in July 1990, with great guests such as Van Morrison, Bryan Adams, Cyndi Lauper, etc. Although Geoff Whitehorn didn't play in the live performance of The Wall - Live in Berlin, he was called to play some parts in the studio. I remember I watched it live on TV, and there were lots of technical problems. In fact, the whole sound was absent for some of the first songs. So, in order to be released on CD, they need to 'fix' some things, and Geoff was called to play.
