Terry Reid

Terrance James Reid (born 13 November 1949) is an English rock vocalist and guitarist. He has performed with high-profile musicians, as a supporting act, session musician, and sideman.

After leaving school at the age of fifteen, Reid joined Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers after being spotted by the band's drummer, Peter Jay.

==Links to Peel==
According to available tracklistings on this site, Peel seemed to have first played Terry Reid's records in 1968. On his 22 December 1968 show, the DJ played Reid's cover of Sonny Bono's 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'. At the time Terry Reid was receiving much praise in the music industry for his debut album and was predicted to become a major star, but despite praise from Aretha Franklin, succesful live gigs in the USA and a contract with Atlantic Records it never happened. Reid even turned down an offer from Jimmy Page to be singer in Page's new band Led Zeppelin and suggested Robert Plant for the job instead. 
Peel also hosted a gig at Mothers in June 1969, where Terry Reid and Deep Purple performed. Terry Reid also performed at the Glastonbury event in 1971. Peel admitted in his column on Disc & Music Echo of July 10th 1971, that he failed to be at the music festival, but then in later years mistakenly claimed that he was there. The DJ did periodically play tracks by the singer during the 1970s, but does not seem to have shown any interest in Terry Reid's work in later decades.
