(Courtesy of Liberty Records) #spencerdavisgroup From Spencer: I rounded up Steve and said “Let’s form a band, because you know so many songs, and I know so many...” He agreed to join on the condition that Muff came as well, because he was Steve’s older brother and he had the driver’s license. Steve was too young to drive. We got Peter York, who had been playing in various trad jazz and mainstream bands, to play drums.” #rockandroll #uk #britishmusic #musichistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CBx7o2NlM-h/?igshid=np22n5tczu4h
