Geoff Whitehorn

Geoffrey Charles 'Geoff' Whitehorn (born 29 August 1951, London, England) is a guitarist and singer-songwriter.

He has recorded several solo albums as well as recording with other artists such as IF, Bad Company, Kevin Ayers, Elkie Brooks, The Who, Roger Waters, Manfred Mann, Paul McCartney and Paul Rodgers.

In August 1973, Whitehorn joined the pioneering British jazz-rock band, IF, in what was their third and final line-up, appearing on their last two albums, "Not Just Another Bunch of Pretty Faces" (1974) and "Tea Break Over, Back On Your 'Eads" (1975). During that period he recorded his first solo album, "Whitehorn" (1974, Stateside), featuring fellow IF members Dick Morrissey and Cliff Davies. This was followed by two largely-instrumental solo CDs, "Big in Gravesend" and "Geoff Who?" which he also re-recorded and expanded as "Geoff Who? 2002". In 1976-1979, Whitehorn played in the band Crawler (formerly known as Back Street Crawler), replacing the band's founder Paul Kossoff after the latter's death.

In 1991 he joined the group Procol Harum, and is now their longest serving guitarist, having played on all of their recent recordings, such as "The Long Goodbye", "One More Time - Live in Utrecht 1992" and "The Well's on Fire". He has played live and recorded with The Palers' Project, the Procol Harum quasi-tribute collective.

Most recently, Whitehorn worked with Elkie Brooks on her 2007 UK tour.
