Talk:Trapeze (band)

Hey, is there any evidence that the bass player for Trapeze was named Pete Wright in the first place? Or that such a band even existed? I know that you've checked up on Michael a lot, but I want to make sure that I'm not spreading some misinformation of his that has managed to slip through. (A reply on Talk:Trapeze (band) would probably be ideal.) Thanks! -- Toby Bartels 01:08, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Hi Toby, yes there was a band called Trapeze AFAIK, but the Pete Wright who played bass for them was NOT the same one who played for Crass, even though it says this on some external website that Michael directed to, Whoever put that website together obviously didn't research properly. The Crass Pete Wright was previously in 'some folk band' that nobody could remember the name of that never made any records and only did a couple of small time gigs. My source is two ex-members of Crass who I know well. Cheers quercus robur 15:26, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- Footnote number one: allmusic.com says the two Pete Wrights are the same - allmusic.com is full of errors of this nature. I've written to them about several, but they never seem to get fixed. They want to have a go at this wiki business...
- Footnote number two: Trapeze also had a Dave Holland among their number. This is no more the jazz bassist than Pete Wright is the ex-Crass memeber ;)
- Footnote number three: the original contents of this page seem to have got moved to Trapeze/Crass by Michael. I've moved it back. --Camembert
