John Veritybegan his music career in the early 1960's, playing guitar in various local groups around his home town of Bradford, Yorkshire, until he was offered a full time gig with a pro band theRichard Kent Style. Soon gigging sometimes twice a night, 7 nights a week all across the UK and Europe, the band became tight in the way that only a hard working band can. My first band with a real rhythm section (Al Powell on drums & Harvey Rose on bass) that sounded to me, as good as the American records we tried to emulate. The band was a six piece complete with brass section, and soon in addition to the R&B material in the set there was some Chicago Blues to get my teeth into - amazing!
