I know this came up on a Q&A session (with Martin Celmins?)...
Anyway, flicking through an old MOJO (1998) I read an interview with Maggie Bell
where she actually claimed that she had recorded with a "group including
Peter Grown and Pete Brown". So it looks like this sessions took place, why would she otherwise
say so?
Any thoughts/info on this? :shrug:

If I recall correctly, I think that Peter had replaced the guitarist (whose name escapes me at the moment) in Maggie's old band Stone The Crows sometime in the 80's. After many rehearsals, Peter never played a live show with them. (his mental health issues came into play)

It was actually in the early 70's, not 80's (I have a late 70's book that mentions this). I don't remember the previous guitarist's name either, but if I recall correctly, he had been electrocuted onstage. :eek:

Would that be Les Harvey who was electrocuted on stage?

Yes, I checked in my book and that is correct. This is also covered in Martin Celmins' book - Celmins wrote that Green's rehearsals with Stone the Crows was in 1972.

That's right, he apparently rehearsed with Stone the Crows in 1972. But what Maggie talked
about in the interview was a recording she had just made, in 1998...wonder what happened with that?

What about the CD called "SAS Band" from 1997-8. Could she have participated on that...? Peter played on a track called "That's The Way God Planned It".

Yes, off course!
Thanks Daniel, why didn't I think of that? So it's not that exciting then...

Well, Dion, it was just a suggestion .. I'm not sure..
I don't have the disc around, as I am away from home at the moment.

That's ok :blob2: ...
No, you're right, Maggie Bell sings on the track with the SAS band, so that's probably it.
Although Peter's guitar isn't very prominent...
