John Verity
The John Verity Band
John Verity began his music career in the early 1960's, playing
guitar in various local bands around his home town of Bradford,
Yorkshire, until he was offered a full time gig with a band which
was backing various visiting US pop acts, as well as Decca Records
UK acts when they toured.
The earliest incarnations of the John Verity Band supported legends
such as Hendrix, Mountain, Canned Heat and Janis Joplin, and he
was quickly signed up as the replacement for Argent's Russ Ballard
after Ballard quit the band in 1972.
When
Argent disbanded in 1976, John put together an outfit called Phoenix
with bassist Jim Rodford (later to join The Kinks), then spent
a few years producing, playing guitar or providing backing vocals
for various acts including Motorhead, Ringo Starr, Russ Ballard,
Brian Connolly, John Parr, BowWowWow and The Searchers amongst
others.
More solo albums followed, with Verity dividing his time between
his solo career and recording and touring with Keith Emerson (ELP),
Jools Holland, Mike Rutherford (Genesis), The Zombies and John
Coghlan (ex-Status Quo).
