Monkey Parkhouse Number 1 band from Portsmouth in the mid 1990's according to their road manager! Shaftsbury. The unknown singer may be JJ Williams and probably the first backing job they did in 1972. The publicity handout below is also from 1972. These were both taken at Ron Forrest & Associates photographic studio in Albert Rd Southsea in '72. The band was as follows - Chris Lowe - Lead/Rhythm guitar and vocals, Dave Martin - Bass guitar and vocals, Roger Grigg - Drums and vocals,l as above. Shaftsbury were formed in the dying embers of 1971. In actual fact it was at a gig in Osborne Rd Southsea, at a new years party above a restaurant, that the band was born. At the time they didn't even have a name. The important fact here is that a partygoer gave them their name. When she asked " What's the name of your band", they said that they hadn't got one. "Yes you have, Its on the front of your Drums", and there it was 'Shaftsbury' on the bass drum front skin, the Japanese musical instrument company, but also a village in Dorset. They hardly ever used the name in the time Chris Lowe was with them, because they were always being used as a backing band. Their first backing job was at the London Palladium backing a young Nicky Nolan, later to become one of the Eurovision winners 'Bucks Fizz'. At the time Nicky,(Mike), was only 16, eight years away from stardom. The following years were spent touring Europe and British Isles, playing one nighters (one off gigs) and weeks or months in different parts of the country and Channel Islands. I suppose their best year had to be 1974 when they were chosen to work for Phil Spector, the world famous record producer, now unfortunately incarcerated in the U.S. The whole of that year was taken up touring as a backing band for the 'Crystals and the 'Ronnettes. Chris left after the tour in '74. The band carried on with more backing jobs, recruiting a new guitarist Pete Roffey guitar vocals in 1975.
