One of the UK's most distinctive and popular singers and songwriters, Chris Martin was educated at the prestigious Sherborne School in Dorset. As a child he was musically inspired by artists such as a-ha, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Smiths, U2 and Peter Gabriel, who achieved commercial success in the 1980s by melding intelligent songwriting with musical sophistication. Martin then went to University College, London, to study Ancient World Studies, where he also met his future Coldplay bandmates.
Martin achieved fame in 2000 when the band's album, "Parachutes", became a major hit and spawned the popular single "Yellow". Many critics saw Coldplay as the natural heirs to Radiohead but with a more radio-friendly sound. Since the success of "Parachutes", Coldplay have remained one of the biggest bands in the world, a constant presence on radio and one of the few British stadium bands of the 21st century.
In 2003, Martin's celebrity status increased with his marriage to the American actress and Hollywood movie star Gwyneth Paltrow. Martin has become renowned for his political activism and he is a an avowed supporter of the human rights organisation Amnesty International. In 2014, he paid tribute to one of his biggest musical influences when he inducted Peter Gabriel into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.- Ben Lamb was born in Exeter, Devon, England, UK.

Born on tour of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in Exeter, England, his career began eleven years later in film and television. Aged fourteen, he won a Venice Film festival award for Daylight Robbery (1964), since then he has appeared in countless TV and film productions including Minder, (released on DVD in 2002), and EastEnders. At sixteen he was a teenage pin up star, featured on front covers of sixties magazine Fab 208. Darryl then began his rock and roll activities drumming for 'Krayon Angels' a group managed by Emperor Rosko. This led to Darryl to then forming in 1969 with Jess Hector (The Gorillas), the first British punk group called Crushed Butler, (acclaimed recently in the Record Collector by Mark Paytress: but not at the time, check Dig the fuzz release 'Uncrushed' DIG 029B). Later Darryl became lead vocalist/song writer and guitarist, after a lead part as Keith Richards in the premier Edinburgh Festival production of 'Let the Good Stones Roll', combining acting and music. This was followed by a premier Royal Shakespeare Company production, of Bastard Angel, written by Barry Keefe, based loosely on the Kinks. A gig in a punk club called 'Ex Und Pop' in Berlin, led to numerous concerts on the underground club circuit, and an album of his compositions released in Germany, leading to headlining gigs to large audiences. Echo Music in Berlin produced Darryl's first single 'Play With Fire'/'Trouble In The House Of Love' (the latter a Darryl Read composition), both have remained punk/Goth underground classics. Echo/Hansa flew in Paul Thompson of Roxy Music to drum with Darryl on sessions before they returned to London, for recording sessions with German keyboard player Volker Janssen, of Spear of Destiny fame. The 12-inch single, 'No Soul Through Midnight' was released with a hard core promo film (Director Darryl Read - 16mm B/W) entitled 'No Place' (available now on VHS), which were well received in the Hollywood's underground, very ahead of Tarrantino.
By this time resident in Hollywood, Darryl produced the album/CD 'Book of the Dead', co-written with Terence James Stamp ('Third World War'). Hanging out in Hollywood, Darryl met up with 'Beachy', drummer and band leader of 'The Mighty Hornets', and played with them at every happening club on the strip with Slim Jim of 'The Stray Cats' and Little Steven of 'The E-Street band' jamming on many sessions. This led to the recording of 'Beat Existentialist' CD album with 'The Hornets', containing original material written by Darryl and Terry, recorded in 1991, which also features Ray Manzarek of The Doors on three tracks.
Darryl jammed with John Entwhistle of 'The Who' at L.A.'s then famous China Club, which was also recorded on video. In 1993 Darryl won the role of Marc Bolan in a band formed by Miller Anderson and Dino Dines (formerly of T-Rex) creating a live show of Marc's work, which toured the UK. On their last gig, Darryl met Barry Smith, the director of the official Marc Bolan fan club, who now runs Darryl's own fanzine alongside with Barry's Bolan web site. Barry also put Darryl in touch with Bill Legend, the original hit-making drummer of T-Rex, and his band The Nightriders, with whom Darryl worked in the UK and Germany. They also recorded Darryl's next CD 'Teenage Dream', Bernard White formed White Label records for this purpose. This followed by 'Walking in Shadows', a four-track CD released in 1995, 'Gods 'n Angels' a five-track CD in 1996 and the latest CD, 'Colectomatic', an 18-track compilation of Darryl's compositions, all released on Bernards White Label. 'Book of the Dead' was released late '98 and is a re-issue of the original U.S. release of 1990. There is additional poetry plus previously unreleased title; 'Take A Dark Ride' completely repackaged including new photos and booklet. July 3rd '99, marked the release of 'Freshly Dug' Read-Manzarek. Darryl's collaboration with the legendary Ray Manzarek, of the Doors, recorded late March '99, Hollywood, L.A., the tracks were mixed and mastered in London by cool engineer 'Marto', and Darryl's good friend and project cohort, Clive Zone, who had encouraged Darryl's writings. This is Darryl's premiere poetry works accompanied with music written by Ray. In early 2000, Darryl finished his book of 55 selected poetry works, with illustrations from the great artist/illustrator George Underwood (Bowie/Bolan illustrator).
In late 2000 shooting began on a film based on Syd Barret of Pink Floyd fame, called Remember a Day (2000) featuring Darryl in the lead role of Roger Bannerman, directed by Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon, written by Bernard White, and Darryl, Clive Zone came in to lend a hand with the production. Just Finished in September 2003 is a forthcoming book written by Darryl titled 'Stardom Road', based on his experiences in the acting and Rock 'n' Roll world, spanning from the mid 60s to present day.
Throughout 2001, Darryl played several concerts in Berlin, including the Berlin Opera house. In Berlin he promoted Remember a Day which Tip Magazine featured recently in a half page spread article. Jan 2002, Dave Goodman ('Sex Pistols' first producer) and Darryl finished their collaboration project, on Darryl's soon to be released album CD Titled 'Shaved'.
January 2005 'Stardom Road' has been out and about, for nearly a year: and is doing very nicely. In mid-January, Darryl visited New York City: played a couple of low-key gigs ands set up some poetry readings.
Whilst struggling to find time to complete 'The Angel Of Dust' (to be released soon!), he is planning more work in NYC, Berlin, Portugal and Spain. New works in process are: Poetry book 2, solo CD album, poetry CD album and a film project.

Darryl finished off a screenplay for Madstar Films Ltd, and continues to play selected concerts both solo and with his group: Beat Existentialists.
Towards the end of 2006, Darryl began a mysterious film project titled Galetamar with German film star Ben Becker.

In late December Darryl played concerts at the White Trash Club Berlin.

On May 17, 2011, Read released a new single called Money Number One which was recorded in Thailand and produced by Barry Upton (known for work his with Steps). A promo video was filmed in Siam, Thailand to promote the Read/Upton composition.
Hardly of the same status of mainstream major rock contemporaries, but Read continues to be prolific as an artist, and something of a rock 'n' roll underground enigma, with a large portion of Beat poetry thrown in.- Actor

Prolific, versatile, and ubiquitous British session vocalist par excellence Tony Burrows has lent his pleasant and soothing voice to a handful of enduring hit pop and rock songs throughout the years. He was born on April 14, 1943 in Exeter, Devon, England. Burrows first started singing in the mid 1950's and turned pro in 1960. The first group Tony was a member of was the Kestrels, who were successful enough to tour twice with 'the Beatles'. Burrows recorded his debut album in 1965 under the pseudonym Tony Bond. He then joined the group the Ivy League, who eventually evolved into the 1960's psychedelic rock outfit the Flower Pot Men. This particular band had their sole hit song "Let's Go to San Francisco" during the summer of 1967. The Flower Pot Men then became the pop-rock band White Plains, who scored a #9 UK radio hit with the bouncy "My Baby Loves Lovin'" in July, 1970. 1970 proved to be a banner year for Burrows: Besides "My Baby Loves Lovin'," he also sang the lead vocals on Edison Lighthouse's delightfully catchy and upbeat "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" (which peaked at #1 on the UK pop charts for five weeks), the jaunty 1920's-style ragtime swing tribute novelty number "Gimme Dat Ding" by the Pipkins, and the Brotherhood of Man's uplifting "United We Stand." Tony accomplished another even more remarkable feat in February, 1970 when he performed the lead vocals for a trio of hit songs by three different bands on the British music variety TV program "Top of the Pops": Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)," "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by White Plains, and the Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand." Although Burrows was unofficially blacklisted by the BBC for this still unprecedented achievement, he nonetheless appeared on "Top of the Pops" a few weeks later singing lead vocals on "Gimme Dat Ding" by the Pipkins. However, most of Tony's solo singles received little to no radio airplay, with only "Melanie Makes Me Smile" proving to be the lone minor hit of the bunch. Burrows went on to once again provide the soaring lead vocals on "Beach Baby" by the First Class; this exuberant homage to the Beach Boys reached #13 on the UK radio and soared all the way to #4 on the US Billboard pop charts in 1974. Alas, other recordings made both on his own and with other groups weren't nearly as successful. Still, Tony has remained busy throughout the years: He's not only worked as a session singer for such notable artists as Elton John, Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, James Last, and Cliff Richard, but also written, produced and done voice-over work on TV commercials. Tony Burrows still continues to sing and perform in concert with a reformed version of White Plains.- Simon Bryant was born in 1965 in Exeter, England, UK.
