Cochise - John Peel / Viv Stanshall session 1971

Описание: In the summer of 1971 Viv Stanshall from the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band stood in for John Peel while he was on holiday and did a series of 4 shows called "Radio Flashes" which were a strange mixture of radio comedy and music.

On the show broadcast on 21st August 1971, there was a session by Cochise, an English country rock band.
The band only released 3 LPs in their lifetime but original singer Stewart Brown had grown up with Elton John, and played together in Long John Baldry's group, Bluesology. He had been replaced by the time of this session by John Gilbert
After the demise of Cochise, Mick Grabham made a solo album in 1972 and joined Procol Harum the following year.
B.J. Cole also recorded a solo album in 1972, called The New Hovering Dog, before becoming an important session musician playing with Elton John, Uriah Heep and many others throughout the 1970s.
Rick Wills and John "Willie" Wilson played on David Gilmour's debut solo album in 1978. Wills also later played with Roxy Music and Foreigner.
