Rare Bird

Band, 1969-1970 GB, London
Rock

Progressive rock band. Formed in London, England in late 1969. Rare Bird was originally formed around the principle of keyboard dominated progressive rock, shunning the use of guitars. Their eponymous debut album achieved critical success. Releasing five albums in total, they never achieved commercial success. They dissolved in early 1975, victims of a lack of recognition in their own country. Line-ups:- 1969 Graham Field - Organ Dave Kaffinetti - Electric piano Steve Gould - Bass guitar and vocals Mark Ashton - Drums. 1971 Dave Kaffinetti, Steve Gould Fred Kelly - Drums Andy "Ced" Curtis - Guitar Paul Karas - Bass 1973 Dave Kaffinetti, Steve Gould, Fred Kelly, Andy "Ced" Curtis Nic Potter - Bass 1974 Dave Kaffinetti, Steve Gould, Fred Kelly, Andy "Ced" Curtis Andy Rae - Bass
