Little Free Rock

Little Free Rock

Little Free Rock was a late 1960s Heavy Rock Trio from Preston in Lancashire, England. It featured Peter Illingworth (lead guitar and vocals) (formerly with "David John and the Mood" who recorded with Joe Meek), Paul Varley (drums) (later with The Arrows) and Frank Newbold (bass and vocals). They began performing covers of The Who, The Creation ("Makin' Time" appeared on their album), Tomorrow but were soon doing mainly own songs.

The band performed regularly at the Roundhouse Sunday Night "Implosion" Events and had numerous residencies at the Marquee Club. As well as performing all over Belgium, Continental Trips included the Star-Club in Hamburg, Essen Jazz and Blues Festival, and festivals in Frankfurt, San Tropez and Santa Margarita de la Costa in Italy.

They changed their name from "Purple Haze" to avoid confusion with Jimi Hendrix' single.

Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) joined the band for a short period, but the recordings were never released.
