Les Glover (born in Liverpool on 17th September 1961) is an English musician and songwriter who has played guitar and sung with Henry Priestman (Yachts, It’s Immaterial, The Christians) since 2013.[1] He is also the lead singer and guitarist in Don Powell’s Occasional Flames.[2][3]
Biography
Glover's career started in St Helens and Liverpool in 1979-80, playing at the now legendary Eric’s Club with his first band Redline.[4][5] An independently produced debut single was thwarted when the police raided their then-manager’s house due to his notorious reputation for bootlegging records,[6] seizing their master tape, along with dozens of others, including live recordings of The Buzzcocks and Sex Pistols. After several high-profile support slots (Wreckless Eric, A Flock Of Seagulls, The Chameleons) and two TV appearances,[4][7] they disbanded when A&M records pulled the plug on a planned Richard Manwaring (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Fischer Z) produced first album.
He is the lead singer and guitarist in Don Powell’s Occasional Flames[8] and has written and produced two albums of new material with the former Slade drummer, both of which have charted on the iTunes and Amazon download charts. Their single “I Won’t Be Playing Wonderwall Tonight” reached number 3 on Mike Read's The Heritage Chart Show with Mike Read,[9] with the video being shown regularly on the Heritage Chart TV show on the Talking Pictures TV Freeview Channel,[10] as well as several European channels. It also reached number 5 on the 365 Radio Legacy Chartbreakers.[11]
