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).
