 | | Blues band formed in UK '68 as Climax Chicago Blues Band, all from Stafford: Peter Haycock (b 4 April '52), vocals, guitar; Colin Cooper (b 7 Oct. '39), vocals, sax; Derek Holt (b 26 Jan. '49), rhythm guitar, vocals; George Newsome (b 14 Aug. '47), drums; Arthur Wood, keyboards; Richard Jones, bass. |
 | | The band's sound had moved away from blues, though the vocal blend (Cooper gruff and bassy, Holt falsetto) remained. |
 | | Touring '96 as Climax Blues Band again, still making an occasional CD, their solid experience still a live draw. |
