CHRIS JONES AGGRESSION c1970

The Chris Jones Aggression was also one of the first Coventry bands I saw dating back to the early period at the Umbrella Arts Club, Queen Victoria Rd. I saw a lot of them either playing at the Umbrella or rehearsing. They were essentially a three piece with drums, bass and Chris excellent blues guitar playing doing rock blues numbers, like, I think Red House. We used to listen to them rehearsing for hours at the Umbrella.

Joe Reynold sometimes played sax and flute with them (Joe was later in his own band Willow c1973 and is on this site with some of his poetry and I think he also played on some early Selecter tracks at Horizon Studios in Cov. but that was much later! Joe was also the first person pay Hobo for add in the first issue.

They took part in the Neol Davies organised Marathon Jam Session at the Umbrella c 1970 and I think it was their drum kit that was used.
