Artist Portrait

Locomotive

Band,
Reggae, Rock and Pop

Birmingham's Locomotive took a strange musical path, but on their way this innovative band created several classics. Traffic's Chris Wood (2) was an early member, but it was vocalist/guitarist Norman Haines who took control. Having recorded for the Direction label, Locomotive moved to Parlophone for "Rudi's In Love", a bluebeat/rocksteady song which established the group's name. However, Haines then pulled an abrupt volte-face, unleashing the almost gothic "Mr Armageddon" in 1968. Haines then completed Locomotive's lone album We Are Everything You See with the aid of Mick Taylor (trumpet), Will Madge (keyboards), Mick Hincks (bass) and Bob Lamb (drums), before disbanding them altogether and forging The Norman Haines Band.
