The band went from six members to five, but let's not forget crediting John Rossall, who was NOT mentioned in the clip, although seen, AND a little known Albert Darley, not seen. He performed only twice with the band behind GG on Top of the Pop's in 1972, when they did "I Didn't Know I Loved You."
excellent tribute thanks for the post,glitter band are still going strong, touring with captain sensible and jona lewie over christmas. rip gerry mate,miss ya!
I met John Springate in Spain this week,at the Bonanza club, he got up and played Bass for a couple of songs with the band Beach Boys Inc, he's a real nice guy, he's a compere and also sings a few songs. Gerry Shephered unfortunately died of cancer about 4 years ago, John Rossell has his own band - "John Rossells Glitter band" as for the other guys ????
Yep, Me too Holywellflats. - Saw all the Apollo Glitter Gigs also went to Tiffany`s at Charing Cross in the later years. Met the original band Gerry, John, Tony Pete and Harv at Strathclyde Uni Brilliant -and I`m 50 now. My kids think I`m sad!!!!
I have so many great memories of the Glitter Band tours in Australia in the 70's. Particularly my special friend Tony Leonard. We had some fun times mate. This is Heather and I'm thinking you remember too!
saw glitterband in blackpool uk with John Springate few years ago they were embarassingly bad. I saw them in the early 70s with the original line up. John Rossal played a trombone!!!!!! Awsome.
Saw John Rossall’s, Harvey Ellison Memorial Venue in London in December 2017...brilliant. ....and of course the original line-up in Denmark in 1975. Sadly John had left, at this point 😎
@cassiedoll74 Hi Cassiedoll - Used to see them at the Glasgow Apollo way back from 1974 - 76. My kids laugh at what I enjoyed - but I still thought they were fantastic - great stomping music, esp with Pete and Tony setting the beat!
Dave Fry Dave Murray is the guy in Iron Maiden ? I saw them at bournemouth town hall touring their 1st album. Bloody great. And Pete Phipps was interviewed by Alex Dyke on bbc solent last weds or thurs. He sounded like a nice fella. Love from the extreme east of the westcountry 😎
@ pigsley meant to say it was when I showed my daughter the photo's of me & my flat mate at the time when we were going to one of their my gigs at the Apollo in Glasgow
@ pigsley My kids said to me the other night mum showing your age so I showed them a video of them singing and my son went whoooooooo the drummers are fab and so are the guys playing the guitars my daughter said way too much make up on you mum lol

Gary Glitter wrote all his hit's WITH Mike Leander - having said that, without Mike there would have been NO glitter at all.

Pete Phipps also has his own version of the Glitter Band playing (a mate of mine plays guitar for them) - I think they do a fair few gigs in Germany

@lambethboys I was at one of the concerts last Christmas and the Glitter band put on a fabulous show, they still have what it takes.

When i first saw Iron Maiden , one of them was familiar. I now realise its cos he is spitting image of Harvey ! Saw GB at Bournemouth in 75 .
Dave Murray is spittin image of Harvey
