Our musical genealogy

IVOR & KEVAN BUNDELL

1972 -3

Paul

Lonene-Paul Gateshill, Kevan Bundell, Dave Cledwyn(all at Price’s Grammar School, Fareham), Jackie White, Jonathan Kirton, Tracey Coles.

“Not Loxene, nor Lonene Donegan” quoth Paul who had invented her – Lonene, our theme song and his imaginary companion with long blond hair and no doubt other attributes beside. . . .  A time of nature mysticism; elves, dwarves and dragons; and questionable theology . . . .

Taped material from 1973, including live at a Price’s Folk Concert, available on CD on very special request.  

Paul and Kevan in Exmoor, 1972.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1973

Autumn Stone  – Dave Natt , Ivor Bundell, Stephen Gobles. 

Formed by then current editors of the notorious “Black Lion” as a vehicle for early musical ventures.

1973

Spirits Rebellious – Paul Gateshill,  Kevan Bundell, Jonathan Kirton, Andy Vores. 

Also known as Spirits Rebilious. A brief (and best forgotten) foray following Jonathan into Country & Western, corrupted utterly by Andy introducing then current pop hits such as Gary Glitter’s “D’ya wanna be in my gang ?”and Sweet’s truly dreadful “Wig Wam Bam.” The band performed in public twice. It was enough. Fortunately no recordings of these temporarily lost souls exist.

1973-75

PINT-Paul McNeil/Penny Barnard, Ivor Bundell, Neil Pritchard, Tracy Coles.

Neil and Ivor writing and arranging their own songs – and inviting others to help perform them !

Grass Roots– Gerry Pigney, Garry Meek, Ivor Bundell. Byrds & Dylan covers, “Movin’ On”. Having fun, and a chance for Gary to let his hair down!  (Ah those were the days – hair !)

Andy Vores’ Band – Andy Vores, Mick Daysh, Tracy Coles, Ivor Bundell, Liz Kearns (dance). This was a band brought together especially for a Price’s Concert in 1974. Featuring Ivor as the evil and irreversable Dr Moloch – and there’s a tape to prove it !

Peter Doggett and Ivor Bundell – Beatles and Dylan covers.

1975 – 77

Presence – Original line up on the LP of the same name (1976) Paul Gateshill, Veronica Towers, Mike Waiting, Ivor and Kevan Bundell.
