Shame they got sent on that silly tour with fleetwood mac who were a fake version. The real band had split up and gone home unfortunately..Also people’s perception of rock stars was a bit stereotypical as Francis mentions which wasn’t the case and sometimes more John Inman than John ozzy Osbourne 😝 no offence intended..

Here's the full story. The drummer of Stretch in 1976/78 and 2008/09 was Jeff Rich.

I'm surprised Mick Fleetwood didn't try to claim a song-writing credit as the inspiration behind "Why Did You Do It?"

They only released 3 albums (until the more recent Unfinished Business in 2011) and they were all pretty good. I saw them support Rainbow way back in 1976 but I have no idea if Jeff Rich was in the band at that time. He did record their second album with them though. Is that a very young Jeff Rich in the video? Looks like him. Great little video that. Absolutely criminal what happened to them. And, of course, Quo were caught up in it. |

That is a massive perm on Jeff Rich in that video lmao. I can see where Guy Ritchie made the other scouser in Lock Stock get a perm in the film  |

Would jeff have kept his place in a band, if he hadn't seen insisted on doing the blonde afro?
I know it's shallow, and doesn't reflect on his drumming, but it just looked like a mad old woman's hairdo, or Harpo Marx.
Blackmore sacked Bonnet, Rainbows best ever vocalist cos he looked like a 50s throw back lounge singer.. bizarre
That's showbiz🤔

Here's the full story. The drummer of Stretch in 1976/78 and 2008/09 was Jeff Rich. Hmmmm, interesting. One part I find extremely hard to believe - that they were waiting for Mick Fleetwood to turn up while thousands of people were in the auditorium! For their story to be entirely true that would suggest that they hadn't rehearsed with Mick Fleetwood before a major US tour - I doubt that very much. And where did they find a drummer and, presumably, bassist (the Mac in Fleetwood Mac) from at such short/immediate notice. I believe that Quo didn't know it was the bogus Fleetwood Mac until they turned up - that seems reasonable. Very unlucky for Quo, tho'. |
