BIOGRAPHY:
Prolific drummer as well as skilled composer, he can be found in many albums by different artists.
FREDDIE MAC´S EXTRAVAGANZA
First band I know by him is called Freddie Mac's Extravaganza:
Another later lineup was:
Carl Douglas later joined Gonzalez (with Chris Mercer), and Clarke and Seopardie formed a new band, called Hunter (soon to be renamed Orang-Utan).

HUNTER / ORANG UTAN
This band was formed sometime (probably during 1970), and their original name was Hunter:
But Gerry Trew soon left.
New singer Nobby Clark joins them:
They recorded one album, Orang Utan, with all songs written by Seopardie, but it was released without the band´s knowledge, so they never received a single penny from sales. The album has cult status and has been reissued several times since then. After that, they disbanded.

The line up was Jeff Seopardie (vocals, drums and percussion), Rod Argent (all keyboards), Jeremy Havard (bass) and Terry Jenkins (guitar). But they never were released.
Jeff and Terry Jenkins wrote an album together with other people, to be called Flight of the condor, but they never got a recording deal, so it was shelved.

PACIFIC EARDRUM
Around 1977, Jeff Seopardie joins Pacific Eardrum:

PETE BROWN BAND
In 1978, he joins a studio project by Pete Brown (from Piblokto! and Battered Ornaments fame), called Ray Gammond And The Interoceters (talk about weird names!!):
Those recordings weren't released until several years later, in 1984, as part of the Party in the rain album.
This was the lineup for Pete Brown´s new venture, called Back To The Front:
There was no permanent guitarist, but Laurence Juber did some of the gigs.

SAD CAFE
Around 1985, Seopardie joins a reformed Sad Cafe, led by the late, missed Paul Young. A new album, Politics of existing, is recorded in 1985. A new lineup is completed for a tour promoting it (most of them, including Jeff, had played in the sessions):

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). This song has been fresh news recently, 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...
In the winter of 1994, Jeff went to Switzerland to play in a musical called Jeff. He played two seasons with that show, and having met many fine musicians, he decided to move there on a permanent basis, forming Mambo Studios with Swiss musician partner Angelo Signore.
He worked with local country artists like Jeff Turner, John Brack, Bonnie Jean Taylor, Rolf Raggenbass and others.
He finally returned to UK in 2005.

CHUCK BERRY BAND
In the late 90s, Jeff Seopardie has been playing with rock'n'roll living legend Chuck Berry. This was his backing band in year 1997:
In 1998, GE Roberts is replaced by Jim Marsala:
This lineup has been (surprisingly for Chuck) stable until this year 2002, as far as I know.

QUESTIONS:
01. He probably made some more sessions with Rod Argent during 1975/76. Has anybody additional info about it?
02. Was he a member of Cayenne, or maybe he just played in the album as sessionman?
03. I STILL NEED TO CHECK IF JEFF appears in Tam White's album Blue eccentricity.
04. Check if Jeff appears in Clock DVA´s album Advantage.
05. Who are the players in the ´Fuchi´ single by Jazz Sluts?
