L'homme de Terre

 

L'homme de Terre


Caron Joyce - Vocals. Cary Lord - Bass. Ady Dix - Guitar. Tony White - Guitar

Steve Harrison - Drums replaced by Billy Gough (ex-Swinging Cats) - Drums

Toby Lyons (ex-Swinging Cats) - Keyboards. Pete Jordon - Sax


Caron had been in the Clique, Tony in the Editors. Tony then joined the Supernaturals.





Memories from Cary Lord- From Rex Brough

"Wow what memories!!! I was in the above mentioned band and was shocked at finding anything on the net!!! I played bass (Cary Lord), Ady Dix (Targets) was on guitar, and Steve played drums with us. Caron sang with us that much is correct. We did an EP with Human Cabbages that I regretfully have lost (has anyone got a copy???) We went through a few awful name changes but none as bad as L'homme de terre. How we ever came up with that I don't know!


We were second to Channel A (Stan Campbell - lead singer) in a battle of the bands held at the Lanch - I've still got the video!! We decided that we needed another guitarist and Tony White joined for a while from The Editors, Johnny Thompson from the Wild Boys as they had split up, and Toby Lyons from the swinging cats on keyboards for a while, but not all at the same time. Steve our drummer got fed up of the line-up changes and left - (he went on to marry Sonia who ran a pub in Coventry) Billy Gough (Swinging Cats) came in on drums with his brother Kip. We also had a fantastic sax player called Pete for a while - I don't remember his surname. He was in a band called the MP's before us. We rehearsed upstairs above the car showroom on the London road, sharing with Team 23, and Hot Snacks as they shared the same sound guy. It became Cabin Studios. Caron is married and living in Finham - I don't know if she is in a band."
