Spunky Spider

Spunky Spider In 1963 we formed our first band PEYTON BOND in North London. The line up as well as the group’s name has changed over the years. PEYTON BOND, the first band, had a line up of Pat Moran (Vocals), Nick Robinson (Bass), John Wilmot (Lead Guitar), Chrissie Knight (Rhythm Guitar) and Mick Mc Brain (Percussion). We played 60’s Pop Music copying tribute bands. The second band was called STEAM MACHINE, this band consisted of: Nick Robinson (Bass), Pat Moran (Vocals), Rob Eggleton (Lead Guitar), Dave (Percussion). Rhythm Guitar & Organ were filled in by various other musicians. We played 60’s-70’s music which we called Bread & Butter music, as well as some of our own numbers which our large following of fans in Whetstone and North London liked. It brought in the money to live on. Then came SPUNKY SPIDER with the line up of Pat Moran (Vocals), Nick Robinson on ((Bass), Jim Green known as “The Earl of Ashwood”, (Percussion), Dave Millman know as “Molly Millman”, on (Lead Guitar), Rowey on (Rhythm Guitar & Flute), Tuttleberry on (Organ). We played Progressive Jazz Rock and our own numbers as well as the good old Bread & Butter music in our own special style. We played The Greyhound, Fulham Palace Road: Bumpers, Leicester Square: Southgate College: The Old Field Tavern and many others venues. We played as a support band for some of the top and up and coming bands of the day. Osabessa, The Hollies, The Who, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Searchers, Warm Dust and many more. We only recorded one record with Phoenix Records, which received a lot of plays on the radio we ended up meeting to write music & songs and around 1980 we disbanded. The drummer Jim Green “The Early of Ashwood” is still playing around the Hertfordshire area with his own band. Read more on Last.fm.
