In November 1971, while working at the Rover, Solihull, I met ex-Modernaires guitarist Tom Russell, he had formed a band called The Jacey Four. One Saturday morning I had a call from their manager asking if I could stand in for their singer. I had two hours rehearsal with Tom and did a Silver Slipper gig in Redditch. After four weeks the singer came back but the manager didn’t want me to leave. The name changed to Barry John Combo until Barry left, then another change to Driftwood.
Gigs were mainly Birmingham and South Birmingham Austin Longbridge, Alans Cross W.M.C., T.A.C.S. W.M.C., Aston Social, Small Heath Amateur Gardening Club, Perry Common Social Club, Parkinson Cowen Club, Shard End Social Club.
Another name change to Karisma with member changes i.e. Roger Browne lead guitar ex-Raymond Froggett and Roger ??? ex-Moody Blues drums, Derrick bass, Ian rhythm guitar, John Pinner vocals. Gigs in Birmingham, Pelican in the Jewellery Quarter, Tyburn House, The Greet, Tyseley, Acocks Green W.M.C., Two Gates Club, Glascote Club, Wilnecote Club, Co-Op Club, Tavern in the Town, The Blacksmiths Arms, Punch & Judys, The Park Inn, Drayton Manor Foseco Club.
“Nothing But The Sky”
Recorded at Rook Studios, Stourport-on-Severn
A-side of the single was a ballad the B-side a rock number, recorded May 4th and 5th at Pelsall Recording Studios. Recorded with the CBSO – four violinists, two cellos and French horn.
Songs played by the band when they played in America included:
Everybody is Losin', Wild Mountain Thyme, Nothing Left But Sky, I Was Down, Shadown on the Wall.
These were the favourite numbers written by the band and Raymond Froggatt. "Everybody is Losin'" was given to John to sing as Raymond said he sang it well.
