Here's a YouTube clip of one of my favourite bands The Peddlers, founded in Manchester in1964 the trio consisted of drummer Trevor Morais (check out the clip to see this man lay down a groove!) bassist Tab Martin the only guy I've seen who makes playing the bass look cool sitting down! and underpins their jazz/loungecore sound and then the icing on the cake,the deep earthy vocals and funkfilled keyboard skills of Roy Phillips like a cross between Ray Charles and Georgie Fame he completes this ensembles massive sound! Although they were well recieved by those in the 'know' and had various residency's in London such as the Scotch of St.James Club and even recorded their first album 'Live At The Pickwick' at one such venue,they never reached the dizzy heights that they should have and after various albums released between 1967 and 1972 ( which have been used by beatdiggers and samplers everywhere, they finally called it a day.
