Robert Tench (born 21 September 1944), also known as Bob Tench, Bobby Tench and Bobby Gass, is a British vocalist and guitarist. He is best known for working with bands and artists such as Jeff Beck, Freddie King, Van Morrison, Hummingbird, Humble Pie and Streetwalkers.[1]

At the start of his career he performed and recorded with his own band, Gass. Tench left Gass and joined the Jeff Beck Group. He recorded with Ginger Baker before touring with Beck, Bogert & Appice as vocalist and recording sessions with Linda Lewis. Associations with Junior Marvin and the blues, rock guitarist Freddie King followed.

Tench signed to A&M Records and formed Hummingbird, later joining Roger Chapman and Charlie Whitney in Streetwalkers as a parallel project. During this period he had brief associations with Boxer and Widowmaker, recording an album with each, before joining The Van Morrison band. When his commitments with Morrison came to an end he moved on to work with Eric Burdon and Axis Point, before Steve Marriott included him in a new lineup of Humble Pie.

More collaborations and associations followed with musicians such as Brian Robertson, Topper Headon, Roger Chapman, Ruby Turner and Alan Price. The new millennium saw the reforming of Humble Pie by the band's drummer, Jerry Shirley. Tench was included, in a lineup which also featured Humble Pie's original bassist, Greg Ridley. In the same year he was included in the Steve Marriott Memorial Concert, held at the Astoria Theatre. More recently he has been involved with studio collaboration and production.[2]

Career

Bobby Tench formed Gass in May 1965 and featured as lead vocalist and bass player. The band recorded two singles for Parlophone and another for CBS with their original lineup,[3] before taking a more progressive musical direction.[4] Tench moved on with drummer Godfrey McClean forming a new lineup and were signed by Polydor Records in 1969. At this time, Gass were already playing as the house band for Catch My Soul, a stage musical produced by Jack Good.[5] Tench sang some parts for Othello and he featured with the band on the original UK cast recording of Catch My Soul-Rock Othello, released a year later.[3][6]

Gass recorded Juju (1970),[3][7] which was immediately re-released as Gass.[8] Juju featured the Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green on the tracks "Juju" and "Black Velvet".[3]

During this period Tench was also involved with an embryonic Gonzalez, forming the original band with the core members including Tench, McClean, bassist Delisle Harper and percussionist Lennox Langton. At the end of May 1971 Tench left Gass, occasionally appearing at live performances with Gonzalez.[9]

Late in 1970, Jeff Beck reformed The Jeff Beck Group and in June 1971 signed a record deal with CBS. Vocals by Alex Ligertwood were rejected by record company bosses, forcing Beck to find a replacement singer. After hearing Bobby Tench perform with his band Gass, "Upstairs" at Ronnie Scott's club in Soho London, Beck employed him as vocalist and second guitarist.[10]

Tench was given only a few weeks to write new lyrics and add his vocals to the album Rough and Ready, before mixing resumed on tracks previously recorded in London by Beck and the other band members, drummer Cozy Powell, bassist Clive Chaman and keyboard player Max Middleton.[11] When the album was released in Europe they toured Finland, Holland, Switzerland and Germany.[12] Rough and Ready[13] was released in USA eight months later and a sixteen date promotional tour followed.[14] The album eventually reached #46 in the album charts.[15]

In January 1972 The Jeff Beck Group travelled to USA to join Beck at TMI studios in Memphis, Tennessee, where they recorded the album Jeff Beck Group[16] with Steve Cropper as producer.[17] The promotional tour which followed included an appearance on the BBC In Concert series, which was recorded on June 29 1972 at the Paris Theatre London. During this session[18] Tench's guitar playing was featured on "Definitely Maybe",[17] a rare occasion whilst he was associated with Beck. On July 24 1972 The second Jeff Beck Group was officially disbanded.[19]

In July 1972, Tench recorded Stratavarious with Cream drummer Ginger Baker.[20] Tench was credited under the pseudonym Bobby Gass.[21] The album was later re-issued, along with other tracks under the title of Do What You Like.[22] During this period Tench also played guitar on Fathoms Deep an album by Linda Lewis,[23] which followed the UK top twenty success of Lewis's "Rock a Doodle Do" single. He appears alongside former Jeff Beck Group keyboardist Max Middleton and bassist Phil Chen, also guitarists Jim Cregan from Family and Danny Thompson.[24]

After the formal demise of The Jeff Beck Group, Jeff Beck had started collaborating with bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice, from Vanilla Fudge and they toured as Jeff Beck Group. Beck also enlisted Keyboardist Max Middleton and vocalist Kim Milford to join the band for a tour of USA, which began on August 1 1972. After the Dallas Majestic Theater performance on August 7 and after only six appearances, Milford left the band.[25] Bobby Tench had already been flown in from the UK to Chicago as the replacement vocalist, in time for the Arie Crown concert in Chicago on August 8.[26] The tour concluded at the Paramount North West Theatre in Washington, on August 19 1972 and Tench ended his association with Jeff Beck further to the formation of the power trio Beck, Bogert & Appice.[27]

During February 1973, Junior Marvin, who had appeared with Tench on the Gass album Juju credited as Junior Kerr[3] and is best known as guitarist from Bob Marley & The Wailers, [28] formed Hanson[29] also known as Junior Marvin's Hanson.[30] The band signed to Emerson, Lake & Palmer's record label Manticore and Tench joined them to record Now Hear This.[31] The lineup on this album included Conrad Isidore and Clive Chaman who later joined Tench in Hummingbird and DeLisle Harper, who had been a member of Gass and Gonzalez with Tench. Now Hear This fused rock with funk and was produced by Mario Medious,[32] also known as Big "M".[33]

Later in 1973, Tench was recruited to record Burglar[34] and Larger Than Life[35] with the blues rock guitarist Freddie King.[36] Both these albums were produced by Mike Vernon.[37] Freddie King died of a heart attack on December 29 1976 aged 42, forcing a termination of Tench's association with King. The compilation album Freddie King 1934-1976 was later released featuring tracks Tench had contributed to on Burglar.[38]

Tench also signed to A&M Records in 1973 and formed Hummingbird.[39] The original lineup included members of the second Jeff Beck Group with Tench as vocalist and guitarist,[1] keyboard player Max Middleton, bassist Clive Chaman, second guitarist Bernie Holland and drummer Conrad Isidore[40] who had played with Tench in Hanson. The band was produced by Ian "Sammy" Samwell[41] and they recorded Hummingbird on which Linda Lewis sang backing vocals, We Can't Go On Meeting Like This and Diamond Nights for A&M. After the first album drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie[42] replaced Isidore[40] and the band was complimented by various backing vocalists, such as Madeline Bell and Liza Strike.[43]

During 1975 Roger Chapman and Charlie Whitney changed the name of their band,[44] often referred to as Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers,[45] to Streetwalkers[46] and Tench became a full member of the band. He had already been part of a fluid lineup performing with Chapman and Whitney, appearing with their touring band at concerts and on TV appearances, before the band name was officially changed.[47] During one appearance on Rockpalast they played "Burn it Down" and this version with Tench playing guitar and singing vocals can be seen on YouTube: view. "Burn it Down" was included on Downtown Flyers(1975).[48]

Tench appeared with Streetwalkers on the BBC's "Peel sessions"[49] on June 8, 1976[50] and again on March 14, 1977.[51] On April 19, 1977 Streetwalkers appeared on Rockpalast for a final time.[52] Their set included "Run for Cover" from the groove heavy Red Card (1976),[53] their most respected album,[54] and featured Tench playing guitar YouTube: view.[55] The band recorded Vicious but Fair (1977) with Tench who also appeared on Live Streetwalkers (1977) before Streetwalkers disbanded.[56]

Former Mott the Hoople and Spooky Tooth guitarist Luther Grosvenor, who was also known as Ariel Bender, formed Widowmaker (UK) during 1975 which was considered a potential supergroup.[57] Tench contributed guitar and backing vocals during sessions in early 1976,[58] when they recorded Widowmaker.[59] The lineup on this album also included Love Affair vocalist Steve Ellis, Hawkwind guitarist Hugh Lloyd-Langton, Chicken Shack bassist Bob Daisley and Lindisfarne drummer Paul Nicholls.[60]

Vocalist Mike Patto from Spooky Tooth and guitarist Ollie Halsall of Timebox had assembled a rock band called Boxer[61] and they recorded Bloodletting at The Manor Studios in 1976, which would eventually be released as their third album. Tench contributed vocals to Bloodletting and appeared with a lineup including bassists Boz Burrell from Bad Company and Keith Ellis, Tony Newman a former Jeff Beck Group drummer, also keyboardists Tim Hinkley and Chris Stainton.[62] The first track from Bloodletting, Lennon and McCartney's "Hey Bulldog", was used as the A-side for a single released the same year. The Bloodletting album was not released until 1979.[63]

Tench joined a new look Van Morrison Band, as the lead guitarist and backing vocalist,[64] in March 1978 to record Wavelength, Morrison's tenth studio album in just over a decade. Tench was recommended to Morrison by drummer Peter Van Hooke, after Hooke had seen him perform in Streetwalkers.[65] In an interview with Johnny Rogan Tench stated: "I quite liked the songs "Natalia" and "Wavelength" because I had a lot to do with them. They came together quickly. He's a very quick worker and once it's there he doesn't see why you can't record it. He let us get on with it, really. It was a good band."[66] Tench was also credited with production assistance on this album.

He contributed guitar and backing vocals to the promotional tour for Wavelength, which started at Santa Clara, California on September 30, 1978 and ended on March 19, 1979 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.[67][68] Tench featured on a video released The performance of "Gloria" from this video is featured on YouTube: link. By the end of the tour Tench had played on classic Morrison songs such as "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Sweet Thing", "Into the Mystic" and "Gloria", appearing in Morrison's lineup sixty-two times, before leaving.[67]

During May 1978, Tench joined Eric Burdon to record the album Darkness Darkness,[69] at Roundwood House in County Leix Ireland. The album was recorded using Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio and with a lineup also including guitarists Brian Robertson from Thin Lizzy and Henry McCullough, recently departed from Wings, also Mick Weaver from Traffic. He also performed with Burdon at concerts during this time.[70] Darkness Darkness was eventually released in 1980.[71]

After a previously aborted attempt to enlist Tench into Humble Pie,[74] he joined the band in 1980[75] as a guitarist and vocalist.[76] The lineup included founder member, guitarist and vocalist Steve Marriott, their original drummer Jerry Shirley and American bassist Anthony "Sooty" Jones. They submitted "Fool For a Pretty Face" which Steve Marriott had written earlier, to record companies. The song was strong enough to secure a recording contract with Atlantic subsidiary Atco in USA and Don Arden's Jet Records in UK.[77]

Humbe Pie recorded On To Victory (1980), which reached #60 in the Billboard 200 album charts. The single of "Fool For a Pretty Face", taken from On to Victory, reached #52 in the US singles charts. Humble Pie toured USA as part of the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon Bill and recorded Go for the Throat (1980). At the beginning of the promotional tour for Go for the Throat earlier scheduled appearances by the band were delayed and later Marriott became ill, forcing the cancellation of all further tour dates. Soon afterwards Humble Pie disbanded.[77]

Tench recorded "Chain Gang" (1982), a tribute to Sam Cooke which was released as a single by Line Records and included "Looking For A Good Time" on the B side, a song co-written by Tench and Peter Bardens. He later joined Topper Headon[78] the drummer from The Clash, to record Waking Up (1984).[79] Tracks from these sessions and others such were used for promotional and commercial vinyl releases. The lineup for these sessions included Headon, vocalist and guitarist Tench, vocalist Jimmy Helms, former Clash keyboard player Mickey Gallagher and bassist Jerome Rimson.[80]

In 1986 he recorded a cover of "Still in Love with You", as a tribute to Phil Lynott who died on January 4 the same year. The song was released as a single later that year.[81] Tenchfeatured as vocalist alongside Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson.[82] The B side "Heart Out Of Love" was co-written by Peter Bardens and Bobby Tench.[81] In 1993, Tench sang lead vocals for An Evening With The Thin Lizzy Band, which featured former Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey, later member and guitarist Brian Robertson, guitarist Doish Nagle and bassist Dough Brookie. The band was formed to play a short tour of Ireland.[83]

Tench played guitar and sang vocals with former Animals keyboardist Alan Price and The Electric Blues Company[84] on Covers (1994).[85] Later that year he appeared with the same lineup of keyboardists Alan Price and Zoot Money, bassist Peter Grant and drummer Martin Wild on A Gigster's Life for Me[86] which was recorded by Alan Price and The Electric Blues Company between July and August 1995 at Olympic Studios London,[87] and released in 1996 as part of Sanctuary's Blues Masters Series.[86] Since 1996 Tench has appeared in the touring lineup of The Electric Blues Company.

They recorded Back on Track (2002). A brief tour of UK and Europe with Company of Snakes followed, but was curtailed due to Greg Ridley becoming ill.[92]
