Our History
It started at an early age of 17 (Clint) after my brother Tony taught me electric guitar, I rocked up with John Randall, Ady Doughty, Tony Poulton, Tony Nurse and John Gutterage to form "THE GUTT".
After doing the small circuit for two years we folded. In 1972 Clint joined forces with Ken Revell and Steve O'Conner to form Tribe doing the London circuit including The Brecknock, Greyhound, Fulham palace Road and loads more. Due to management problems the band folded.
In 1975 the band Beaver was formed and run by Andrew Hunt and Dave Graham . The band had many musicians come and go including Deidre Cartwright (BBC's Rock School) Dave Graham ( Fisher z ), Kevin Powell (Cockney Rebel) Sledgehammers Ken Revell and loads more, they went on to Support bands include Darts, Joe Loss, Syd Lawrence, and in 1979 the band folded.
Andrew sadly passed away in 2002. John, Clint and Ken went on to form Tribe 2 . Tribe 1 preformed gigs in London sharing stages with Contraband, Cockney Rebel, B Bop Deluxe and Dr Feelgood.
Clint played Bass Guitar with Sledgehammer NWOBHM, nicknamed Killer Clint. . Clint joined up with Ken Revell and Gerry Sherwin to form Troubleshooter to then go on to support UFO for two nights at the Marquee Club, London. Sledgehammer also shared the stage with, Def Leppard, Motorhead and many more. JR did depping for bands including The New Vaudeville Band.
Now the band are back in business playing Rock 'n' Blues and still using some of their original material, totaling more than 3,000 gigs.
The Band are their main preference but are also available as a duo.
