900.0. "Trapeze" by STKAI2::WARULF () Fri Dec 11 1992 08:30

    Have any of you readers heard about a group called Trapeeze? One of the
    members is Glenn Hughes from Deep purple.I think they were performing 
    in the 70's. If any of you know something about
    this band i'll be glad to hear.

     Yeah, I have one of their albums. I think it is just entitled
    "Trapeeze". I haven't listened to it in ages. Carmine Appice was the
    drummer no?

    I don't know about Carmine Appice but I do know that Dave Holland
    (of Priest fame) thumped the tubs with Trapeze.
    
    barry.

     Thats intresting about Dave Holland. Could be after Appice was with
    them. I know they released a couple of albums, don't recall how many.
    Wasn't this band formed shortly after Beck Bogart and Appice called
    it quits?

If I remember well, Peter Goalby has also been lead singer for a while with
Trapeze before leaving for Uriah Heep.

    Trapeze did get back together for a few live shows,with the following
    line-up:-
    
    Glenn Hughes - Bass/Vocals(Second to none!)
    Dave Holland - Drums
    Mel Galley - Guitar ex Whitesnake
    Geoff Downes - Keybords - on loan from Asia
    
    Pity I didn't get to see them , I'm a big Glenn Hughes fan - his work
    with Pat Thrall on the Klassic Hughes/Thrall album was killer stuff!!
    
    Glenn then went on to record an album with ex Europe guitarist, John
    Norum after his stint with Trapeze.
    
    Cheers

    Thanks for interresting information!!
    
    I'll check out some records (epecially those with Glenn Hughes) to see
    if there is some heavy stuff.
    
    Is there any recommendations of wich album to select??
    
    
    Cheers  / Warulf  ::-)

    KanK! Do you have any titles from the Hughes/Thrall sessions??

900.8Down from the Glenn came the marching men!NEWOA::SCHANZER_DTue Dec 22 1992 14:2515
    Walruf, check out an album called simply,Hughes and Thrall.
    
    It was recorded in 1982 ish and produced by Andy Johns. This was the
    only album they recorded together and is an absolute killer album.
    
    Check out the opening track "I got your Number" - wicked!!
    
    Musicianship in first rate - Glenn handles bass, Pat Thrall ( ex
    Automatic Man/Pat Travers) handles axework, Tommy Aldridge ( no intro
    reqd) and Franki Banalli (ex Quiet Riot) handle da drums.
    
    You may have problems finding it, but if you do let me know and I'll
    make sure you hear it!..Know wha' I mean??!!
    
    Cheers Skank.

    Thanks!!
    
    I'll have to see my neighbourhood dealer to check out his world wide
    recording list. I hope he can help me, otherwise i have a contact in
    an other town (Norrkoping, Sweden) they have helped me earlier.
    
    Best regards
