The Noel Redding Band

Comprising the bass guitarist, rhythm guitarist and vocalist Noel Redding (formerly of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Fat Mattress and Road), the vocalist and keyboard player Dave Clarke, the lead guitarist Eric Bell (formerly of Thin Lizzy and Them) and the drummer Les Sampson (formerly of Road), the band released two albums – Clonakilty Cowboys (1975) and Blowin' (1976) – before disbanding in 1978.

Following this, Redding decided to form an eponymous band, again working with Road's drummer Sampson.

[1] During a break following the release of a second album in 1976, Sampson left and was replaced by Dave Donovan (ex-Roy Wood).

Like other bands formed by Redding, it was relatively short-lived, releasing two albums in 1975 and 1976 before splitting up in 1978.

[2] Redding once suggested in an interview that The Clonakilty Cowboys was the band which gave him "the most pleasure".
