ULTRASOUND

c 1967-1968  '...looking for lead guitarist...' reported in Midland Beat March 1967 ' (via Broadgate Gnome)

Line Up

Dave Walker - Bass, replaced by Malc Harker (later with Indian Summer)

Paul Morton - Drums and Lead vocal

Brian Whittle - Lead guitar


Memories from Barrie Mansel-Edwards - from Rex Brough

"I was roadie for a couple of years to Ultrasound, who were a very busy group who worked around 4 nights per week across the midlands with regular jobs at Club Cedar and The Rainbow Suite in Birmingham, as well as many smaller venues. We shared the billing with a number of well known groups including The Move, Amen Corner, Family, Dave Berry, Linda Lewis and her band, Julie Driscoll And The Brian Auger Trinity (of Wheels of Fire from Absolutely Fabulous fame), as well as other less well known but busy bands such as The Ray King Soul Band, Orange Bicycle, Peppermint Circus and many others.
Around 1969, the group was renamed Uncle Sam.

When the band broke up (in 1970 I think), Malc joined Indian Summer with Paul Hooper and Bob Jackson."
