About Us
In 1965 band members of The Blithe Spirits and The Abdomen joined to form
The Tartan Quarter, with a line up of Ken Starks, Geoff Baker, Glenn Lee
and Colin Allaway. After a memorable debut gig at the Bure club in Mudeford,
a residency at a Southampton pub and various other bookings, the band
went through further personnel changes with the addition of Chris Godden
and Ken Wheeler, losing Colin Allaway in the process. This was the most successful
line up to date with Ken Starks, lead vocal/rhythm guitar, Geoff Baker, bass guitar,
Glenn Lee drums, Chris Godden, lead guitar/banjo and Ken Wheeler on keyboards.
