Biography
Formed in Wolverhampton, England in 1968, Trapeze were one of several local acts signed to the Moody Blues’ label, Threshold Records. John Jones (vocals), Mel Galley (guitar/vocals), Terry Rowley (guitar), Glenn Hughes (21 August 1952, Cannock, Staffordshire, England; bass) and Dave Holland (b. David Holland, 5 April 1948, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England; drums) recorded a self-titled debut album, before Jones and Rowley were dropped from the line-up. Trapeze completed the Neil Slaven-produced Medusa and You Are The Music as a trio before Hughes replaced Roger Glover in Deep Purple in June 1973. However, the three musicians were latterly reunited, although the bass player dropped out in the midst of an ill-fated tour of the USA and embarked on a solo career. Galley and Holland then recruited Rob Kendrick (guitar) and Pete Wright (bass), issuing two albums for Warner Brothers Records before Pete Goalby replaced Kendrick for a final Trapeze release...
