BAND INDEX

EARTHQUAKES (Cov Band) c 1974

The Earthquakes hailed from Derby originally but settled in Coventry. They were managed by the Sunshine Music Agency in Gulson Rd. Coventry via Craig Ward etc.. 

 

Co-director of Sunshine and the main songwriter - Bob Young of A Band Called George - offered them a song -Dancing to the Music earmarked to be released on the Bell Label,alongside A Band Called George's own single NCB Man - again written by Bob Young. However - I'm not quite sure why - perhaps they split up but it was reported in Hobo that the single was subsequently offered to Mad Cat Molly.

 From the unpublished version of Hobo issue 3

 "MAD CAT MOLLY are another band set to make a single for possible release on the Bell label. Again it is a Bob Young composition (no relation to Neil Young Jamie!!) called Dancing to the Music originally going to be done by the Earthquakes who hail from Derby. The line up is Steve Lore on lead; Mick Murphy on Rhythm; Paul Wright on bass and Chris Potter on drums. They have quite a few booking lined up around the country thanks to Sunshine Music Agency."
