Platform Six

Very little is known about this mid-1960s British band who recorded a lone 45 for Pye Records – Peter Chester and Roger Kipling’s “Money Will Not Mean a Thing” c/w group composition “Girl Downtown”.

This article in Record Retailer from 12 August 1965, page 7 (see above), notes that the band backed singer Billie Davis and comprised the following musicians:

David Cripps – lead vocals

Ian Green – organ

Peter Bryant – bass

George Hall – flute/sax

Ken McClomb – tenor sax

Eddie Page – drums

Some sources list this outfit as a Reading, Berkshire band. Record Retailer reports that Platform Six worked at the Star Club in Hamburg.

It is quite possible that Ian Green is the same musician who subsequently led his own band, Ian Green’s Revelation and married former Orlons singer Rosetta Hightower.

Garage Hangover would welcome any further information below on this obscure group, particularly what its members did afterwards.
