Hoggin' The Page : Groundhogs - The Classic Years
The Groundhogs - Book - by Martyn Hanson
(2025)
The story of theGroundhogs spans the most exciting years British rock will ever enjoy. Springing from the same early roots as the Animals, Pretty Things and RollingStones, they soon garnered a reputation as a blues band backing the likes ofJohn Lee Hooker and many other giants of the genre. From this solid base, theygraduated to writing some of the most challenging progressive rock music of the1960s and 1970s, yet the next generation of musicians like Captain Sensible andothers were fans.
Led by visionary guitarist, singer andsongwriter Tony McPhee (who sadly passed away in 2023, age 79), abetted by thepowerhouse rhythm section of Ken Pustelnik and Pete Cruickshank. DJ John Peelwas a big fan and helped to send their Split album into the top five. Other albums such as Thank Christ For TheBomb, Who Will Save The World, Hogwash and Solid cemented their reputation andtheir thirteen studio albums span four decades.
Tony's adventures as a pioneerof the synthesizer, taking it on the road on a solo tour and building one ofthe first home studios to record with it, shows another side to the complexMcPhee that is far less widely known, understood and, let alone, appreciated. This is the story of those classic years.
