Aubrey Small

Aubrey Small was an English pop-rock band that released a self-titled album on Polydor in 1971.
Aubrey Small formed in Portsmouth in late 1969 when guitarist Alan Christmas and keyboardist Rod Taylor teamed with bassist David Yearley and drummer Graham Hunt.
Taylor hailed from beatsters the Isle of Wight Cherokees, which self-pressed the 1966 EP I.O.W. Cherokees and issued the 1967 Polydor single “I Feel Good” (b/w “Deep Blue Feeling”).
Hunt, a child prodigy on drums and xylophone, played the latter on a 1956 broadcast of the BBC children’s series All Your Own. He played in numerous Portsmouth beat groups during the mid–late ’60s. 
Aubrey Small made their live debut at the South Parade Pier in Southsea on Valentine’s Day 1970. Weeks later, guitarist and singer Peter Pinckney joined the band.

The band did three previous sessions for Bob Harris' show, the first being on 1st September 1970. They also recorded one for Peel's Top Gear programme in November 1971.
Aubrey Small only made one LP before splitting up but were managed by Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and got some media attention. They were rediscovered by later generations of collectors, the album was reissued and they eventually reformed. A collection of their BBC broadcasts, simply entitled Radio Broadcasts and made up of off-air recordings including links by JP and Bob Harris, is advertised on the band's website
