The Peddlers

The Peddlers

The Peddlers were a British pop trio of the 1960s and 1970s.

History

The Peddlers formed in Manchester in 1964 as a trio of Trevor Morais (born Trevor Gladstone Emanuel Morais, in Liverpool, 10 October 1944), Tab Martin (born Alan Raymond Brearley, in Newcastle upon Tyne on 24 December 1944) and Roy Phillips (born Roy Godfrey Phillips, in Parkstone, Dorset on 5 May 1941). Morais, the drummer, had previously played with Faron's Flamingoes and Rory Storm and the Hurricanes (who had struggled to replace Ringo Starr after he had left to join The Beatles). Martin, the bassist, and Phillips, on vocals and keyboards, had both been in The Saints and The Tornados; Phillips had also been with The Soundtracks.

The trio released six singles and an EP on the Philips label before joining CBS in 1967. That year they released the album "Freewheelers", consisting of standards sometimes adventurously arranged by Keith Mansfield (composer of the "Grandstand" theme tune, amongst others). The follow-up, 1968's "Three In A Cell", included a downtempo version of 'On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)', from the 1965 musical of the same name, which was later heavily sampled for its bass and hammond organ riff. The third and final CBS album, "Birthday", followed in 1969, and brought the band two UK Top 40 singles in 'Girlie' and the title track. Following "Birthday", the Peddlers returned to Philips.

Morais left the trio during an Australian tour in 1972, and the Peddlers disbanded in 1976.

After the Peddlers

Morais left the Peddlers during an Australian tour in 1972 and joined Quantum Jump. He later opened El Cortijo studios in Malaga, Spain, and has worked with David Essex, Howard Jones and Björk. Phillips now lives in Auckland, New Zealand, where he owns a recording studio. He contributed lead vocals for the track 'Closer' to the 2007 Lord Large album 'The Lord's First XI'.
