Finders Keepers (band)

Finders Keepers were an English band featuring then-future Trapeze members Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley, and Dave Holland.

[1] Hughes later sang for Deep Purple (with whom he also played bass) and Black Sabbath (on the album Seventh Star and part of its supporting tour).

Finders Keepers released several singles, including a cover of "Sadie, The Cleaning Lady" in 1968.

In 1967, there were several line-up changes, resulting in the band with Ian "Sludge" Lees on vocals, Mel Galley and Alan Clee on lead guitars, Phil Overfield on bass and David Williams on drums.

The resulting line-up of Ian "Sludge" Lees, Mel Galley, Alan Clee, Glenn Hughes and Dave Holland were together until 1969, when the band broke up, and Mel Galley, Glenn Hughes and Dave Holland went on to form Trapeze.
