Peaches

:(This page is about the English band. For the Jamaican singer of the same name, see Peaches(2). For the Canadian musician of the same name, see Peaches(3))
Peaches was a British 70's jazz/prog rock band from York originally consisting of Nick Shillito (guitars, vocal), Roger Davis (guitar, vocals), Nick Howard (keyboard), Lucian Camp (bass) and Jim Bamber (drums). They all apparently went to Oxford University to study and started doing some gigs. Very little information about the band is on the internet, although throughout the years they had various line-ups, according to Ken Garner's The Peel Session book, and seemed to have split sometime during the emergence of punk, although some of the members continued with music in one form or another.

Peel invited the band to do three sessions for his programmes which they did. On his 5th September 1974 show, he described the band as semi professional, who were looking for gigs and being signed to a recording contract. There is no information on how Peel discovered the group. It was either he saw them play or he received a demo tape from the band or someone recommended him to them. The group also had airplay on Alan Freeman's rock show during the 70's when Peel played them, but it seems they failed to get a recording contract and split up, as there is no record of them releasing any albums or singles on the discogs or other various websites.
