'''The Tremeloes''' are an English [[beat group]] founded in 1958 in [[Dagenham]], [[Essex]], and still active today{{when?|date=December 2018}}. They were part of the [[British Invasion]], where they grew to prominence.
==Career==
They were formed as '''[[Brian Poole]] and the Tremoloes''' (the spelling "[[tremolo]]es" was soon changed because of a spelling mistake in an East London newspaper) influenced by [[Buddy Holly]] and [[the Crickets]].
On New Year's Day, 1962, [[Decca Records|Decca]], looking for a [[beat music|Beat]] group, [[The Beatles' Decca audition|auditioned]] two promising young bands: Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and another combo (also heavily influenced by Buddy Holly) from [[Liverpool]], [[The Beatles]]. Decca [[The Beatles' Decca audition|chose Brian Poole and the Tremeloes over the Beatles]], reportedly based on location – the Tremeloes were from the London area, making them more accessible than the Liverpool-based Beatles.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}
The original quintet consisted of lead vocalist Brian Poole, lead guitarist Rick West (born Richard Westwood), rhythm guitarist/keyboardist [[Alan Blakley]], bassist Alan Howard and drummer Dave Munden.
Brian Poole and the Tremeloes first charted in the UK in July 1963 with a [[cover version]] of "[[Twist and Shout]]", a song previously popularised in America by [[the Isley Brothers]], and already released by the Beatles in the UK in March 1963 on their first British LP, ''[[Please Please Me]]''. They followed "Twist and Shout" with a [[Chart-topper|chart topping]] cover of [[the Contours]]' US million-seller "[[Do You Love Me]]" in the same year, in turn followed by "I Can Dance". The group also had success in the UK in 1964 with covers of [[Roy Orbison]]'s B-side, "Candy Man" and a previously obscure [[The Crickets|Crickets']] [[A-side and B-side|B-side]] [[ballad]], "Someone, Someone"; both entered the [[UK Singles Chart]] [[Record chart|Top Ten]], with the latter peaking at no. 2. Other Decca-era chart singles included "Three Bells" and a version of "I Want Candy".
With Poole leaving to attempt a solo career (which proved unsuccessful) in 1966, the Tremeloes continued as a four-piece band with a revised line-up (Howard left the band in 1966). Len "Chip" Hawkes, father of 1990s [[one-hit wonder]] [[Chesney Hawkes]], replaced Howard.
Their first single as a four piece was released on Decca and a cover of Paul Simon's song "Blessed", which failed to chart, but picked up some radio airplay.
After switching from Decca to [[Columbia Records|CBS Records]], with Mike Smith producing, The Tremeloes' first single on CBS was a cover of The Beatles ''[[Revolver (Beatles album)|Revolver]]'' song "[[Good Day Sunshine]]". This also failed to chart, but established a new image of a more contemporary group in tune with the times, which set them up for future continued chart singles as they then started a successful hit run from 1967 onwards with [[Cat Stevens]]' "[[Here Comes My Baby (Cat Stevens song)|Here Comes My Baby]]"; "Hello World"; three Italian hits translated into English: "Suddenly You Love Me", which is [[Riccardo Del Turco]]'s "[[Siffler sur la colline|Uno tranquillo]]" ("One quiet man"), "I'm Gonna Try", which is Riccardo Del Turco's 1968 hit "[[Le Petit Pain au chocolat|Luglio]]" ("July"), and "My Little Lady", based on [[Orietta Berti]]'s "[[Non illuderti mai]]" ("Never deceive yourself"); and their number one recording of an old [[The Four Seasons (group)|Four Seasons]]' B-side "[[Silence Is Golden (song)|Silence Is Golden]]". Both this last single and "Here Comes My Baby" also entered the Top 20 of the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] on CBS' co-owned [[Epic Records]].
All members shared vocals, though most of the songs featured either Hawkes or drummer Dave Munden as the lead singer. Guitarist Rick Westwood sang falsetto co-lead vocal with Hawkes' lower range vocal and group harmonies also featured on "Silence Is Golden". Their regular hits were accompanied by frequent appearances on [[BBC]]'s ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' TV programme. Their songs were popular with younger music fans and parents rather than rock music fans, although their albums and 'B' sides included more rock-styled tracks such as band compositions "Try Me" and the instrumental "Instant Whip". Their more commercial songs, such as "Even The Bad Times Are Good" (UK no. 4, 1967), "Helule Helule" (UK no. 14, 1967), "Suddenly You Love Me" and "My Little Lady" (both UK no. 8 in 1968), proved to be more popular than the falsetto-led "Be Mine" sung by Rick Westwood, which stalled in the lower top 40, or a string accompanied cover of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" (UK no. 29, 1969), but the more ambitious group-composed "(Call Me) Number One" reached no. 2 in the UK in 1969. Altogether, without Poole the group had nine UK Top 20 hits.
Westwood and Blakley were dual lead guitarists with guitar/sitar and banjo, pedal steel guitar and keyboards featured on their songs. Hawkes could play drums in addition to bass guitar.
Their cover version of Jeff Christie's song "Yellow River" (sung by Dave Munden) was shelved at the time, but Christie's lead vocal set to their backing became a UK chart hit for Christie in 1970. The Tremeloes versions sung in both English and Spanish later were released on compact disc compilations.
Blakley-Hawkes composed much of their original material, mostly on albums and 'B' sides, then some later singles, while Munden and Westwood also made songwriting contributions.
"Me and My Life", written by Blakley-Hawkes, was a no. 4 UK chart hit in 1970, while "By the Way" reached no. 35 that year. Their album ''Master'', which they released a few weeks later, failed to sell well, and they had no British hits after "Hello Buddy" (no. 32) in 1971. Nevertheless, they recorded several more singles throughout the decade, with further chart singles in Europe, including "Blue Suede Tie" (no. 38 Germany), "Too Late to Be Saved" (no. 33 Germany), "Ride On" (no. 16 Germany), "It's OK (Say Ole If You Love Me)", and "Do I Love You", some of which received heavy airplay, particularly on [[Radio Luxembourg (English)|Radio Luxembourg]]. "I Like It That Way" even made the [[Dutch Top 40|Dutch Top 10]], reaching no. 9 after the Dutch service of [[Radio North Sea International]] promoted it as its weekly ''Treiterschijf''. They also released another three albums of original material, ''Shiner'' (1974), ''Don't Let the Music Die'' (1975), with some copies being credited to a group Space on the record label although the Tremeloes' pictures were on the sleeve (this album was also credited to The Tremeloes on the cover and featured Dave Munden, with Bob Benham, Paul Carman, and Paul Issac making up the group), and ''All for One and One for All'' (1992).
==After the hits==
Their music is still available on CD, and they quite often play concerts and are part of the pop-revival shows that constantly tour the UK. Their line-up changed several times from 1972 onwards, the first new entrants being Bob Benham and a year later Aaron Woolley (replacing Blakley and Hawkes, both of whom would later return to the band), effectively a merger with a Tremeloes-managed group called [[Jumbo (British band)|Jumbo]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} Munden remained the only constant member. Hawkes pursued a solo career for a while producing two albums for [[RCA Records]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. In 1979 he returned to England and rejoined the Tremeloes where he remained until 1988. Chip left the Tremeloes to focus on managing his son, [[Chesney Hawkes|Chesney]], who had a number one [[chart hit|hit]] [[Gramophone record|record]] entitled "The One and Only". By 1992 Hawkes was touring once again as a solo artist. Blakley produced records for other [[musician|acts]], including the [[Rubettes]], Bilbo Baggins and [[Mungo Jerry]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} In 1983 the original quartet reformed and made the lower reaches of the UK Top 100 with their [[cover version]] of the [[Europop]] hit "[[Words (F. R. David song)|Words]]", losing out to a reactivation of the original by [[F. R. David]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}
As a soloist, Poole failed to chart with subsequent records, but pursued a successful cabaret career. His daughters, Karen and Shelly, hit the charts in 1996 as [[Alisha's Attic]]. Blakley died from cancer in June 1996, leaving Munden and West to continue in concert with newer recruits Dave Fryer (bass) and Joe Gillingham (keyboards). Jeff Brown, former bass player and lead vocals for The Sweet, replaced Fryer in 2005. Dave Fryer retired to live in Germany after leaving the band, and continues to write music and play occasionally.
Brian Poole, Chip Hawkes and the Tremeloes toured the UK as part of their 40th anniversary reunion in September 2006.
The Tremeloes are still together today: West and Munden perform their old material in concert throughout Europe with musicians from other 1960s and 1970s bands. Hawkes is also still an active performer and leads his own band Class of '64. Brian Poole still tours with his band the Electrix. Rick Westwood retired from the Tremeloes at the end of 2012.
==The Class of '64==
{{Unreferenced|section|date=March 2019}}
In April 2004, at the request of [[the Animals]], who were about to do their 40th anniversary tour, Hawkes was asked to form a band to tour with the Animals. This he did, bringing together a [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] including [[Mick Avory]] (ex-[[the Kinks]]), [[Eric Haydock]] (ex-[[the Hollies]]), who teamed up to perform as the Class of '64, also featuring guitarists, Telecaster Ted Tomlin and Graham Pollock. The band toured around the world and recorded an album of past band hits and a new single called "She's Not My Child".

'''The Tremeloes''' are an English [[beat group]] founded in 1958 in [[Dagenham]], [[Essex]], and still active as of 2016.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Robertson |first1=Alex |title=Tremeloes Stars |url=https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3702991/The-Tremeloes-members-acquitted-indecently-assaulting-15-year-old-girl-gig-50-years-ago.html |website=Daily Mail.com |publisher=Associated Newspapers Ltd |accessdate=11 June 2019}}</ref> They were part of the [[British Invasion]], where they grew to prominence.
==Career==
They were formed as '''[[Brian Poole]] and the Tremoloes''' (the spelling "[[tremolo]]es" was soon changed because of a spelling mistake in an East London newspaper) influenced by [[Buddy Holly]] and [[the Crickets]].
On New Year's Day, 1962, [[Decca Records|Decca]], looking for a [[beat music|Beat]] group, [[The Beatles' Decca audition|auditioned]] two promising young bands: Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and another combo (also heavily influenced by Buddy Holly) from [[Liverpool]], [[The Beatles]]. Decca [[The Beatles' Decca audition|chose Brian Poole and the Tremeloes over the Beatles]], reportedly based on location – the Tremeloes were from the London area, making them more accessible than the Liverpool-based Beatles.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}
The original quintet consisted of lead vocalist Brian Poole, lead guitarist Rick West (born Richard Westwood), rhythm guitarist/keyboardist [[Alan Blakley]], bassist Alan Howard and drummer Dave Munden.
Brian Poole and the Tremeloes first charted in the UK in July 1963 with a [[cover version]] of "[[Twist and Shout]]", a song previously popularised in America by [[the Isley Brothers]], and already released by the Beatles in the UK in March 1963 on their first British LP, ''[[Please Please Me]]''. They followed "Twist and Shout" with a [[Chart-topper|chart topping]] cover of [[the Contours]]' US million-seller "[[Do You Love Me]]" in the same year, in turn followed by "I Can Dance". The group also had success in the UK in 1964 with covers of [[Roy Orbison]]'s B-side, "Candy Man" and a previously obscure [[The Crickets|Crickets']] [[A-side and B-side|B-side]] [[ballad]], "Someone, Someone"; both entered the [[UK Singles Chart]] [[Record chart|Top Ten]], with the latter peaking at no. 2. Other Decca-era chart singles included "Three Bells" and a version of "I Want Candy".
With Poole leaving to attempt a solo career (which proved unsuccessful) in 1966, the Tremeloes continued as a four-piece band with a revised line-up (Howard left the band in 1966). Len "Chip" Hawkes, father of 1990s [[one-hit wonder]] [[Chesney Hawkes]], replaced Howard.
Their first single as a four piece was released on Decca and a cover of Paul Simon's song "Blessed", which failed to chart, but picked up some radio airplay.
After switching from Decca to [[Columbia Records|CBS Records]], with Mike Smith producing, The Tremeloes' first single on CBS was a cover of The Beatles ''[[Revolver (Beatles album)|Revolver]]'' song "[[Good Day Sunshine]]". This also failed to chart, but established a new image of a more contemporary group in tune with the times, which set them up for future continued chart singles as they then started a successful hit run from 1967 onwards with [[Cat Stevens]]' "[[Here Comes My Baby (Cat Stevens song)|Here Comes My Baby]]"; "Hello World"; three Italian hits translated into English: "Suddenly You Love Me", which is [[Riccardo Del Turco]]'s "[[Siffler sur la colline|Uno tranquillo]]" ("One quiet man"), "I'm Gonna Try", which is Riccardo Del Turco's 1968 hit "[[Le Petit Pain au chocolat|Luglio]]" ("July"), and "My Little Lady", based on [[Orietta Berti]]'s "[[Non illuderti mai]]" ("Never deceive yourself"); and their number one recording of an old [[The Four Seasons (group)|Four Seasons]]' B-side "[[Silence Is Golden (song)|Silence Is Golden]]". Both this last single and "Here Comes My Baby" also entered the Top 20 of the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] on CBS' co-owned [[Epic Records]].
All members shared vocals, though most of the songs featured either Hawkes or drummer Dave Munden as the lead singer. Guitarist Rick Westwood sang falsetto co-lead vocal with Hawkes' lower range vocal and group harmonies also featured on "Silence Is Golden". Their regular hits were accompanied by frequent appearances on [[BBC]]'s ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' TV programme. Their songs were popular with younger music fans and parents rather than rock music fans, although their albums and 'B' sides included more rock-styled tracks such as band compositions "Try Me" and the instrumental "Instant Whip". Their more commercial songs, such as "Even The Bad Times Are Good" (UK no. 4, 1967), "Helule Helule" (UK no. 14, 1967), "Suddenly You Love Me" and "My Little Lady" (both UK no. 8 in 1968), proved to be more popular than the falsetto-led "Be Mine" sung by Rick Westwood, which stalled in the lower top 40, or a string accompanied cover of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" (UK no. 29, 1969), but the more ambitious group-composed "(Call Me) Number One" reached no. 2 in the UK in 1969. Altogether, without Poole the group had nine UK Top 20 hits.
Westwood and Blakley were dual lead guitarists with guitar/sitar and banjo, pedal steel guitar and keyboards featured on their songs. Hawkes could play drums in addition to bass guitar.
Their cover version of Jeff Christie's song "Yellow River" (sung by Dave Munden) was shelved at the time, but Christie's lead vocal set to their backing became a UK chart hit for Christie in 1970. The Tremeloes versions sung in both English and Spanish later were released on compact disc compilations.
Blakley-Hawkes composed much of their original material, mostly on albums and 'B' sides, then some later singles, while Munden and Westwood also made songwriting contributions.
"Me and My Life", written by Blakley-Hawkes, was a no. 4 UK chart hit in 1970, while "By the Way" reached no. 35 that year. Their album ''Master'', which they released a few weeks later, failed to sell well, and they had no British hits after "Hello Buddy" (no. 32) in 1971. Nevertheless, they recorded several more singles throughout the decade, with further chart singles in Europe, including "Blue Suede Tie" (no. 38 Germany), "Too Late to Be Saved" (no. 33 Germany), "Ride On" (no. 16 Germany), "It's OK (Say Ole If You Love Me)", and "Do I Love You", some of which received heavy airplay, particularly on [[Radio Luxembourg (English)|Radio Luxembourg]]. "I Like It That Way" even made the [[Dutch Top 40|Dutch Top 10]], reaching no. 9 after the Dutch service of [[Radio North Sea International]] promoted it as its weekly ''Treiterschijf''. They also released another three albums of original material, ''Shiner'' (1974), ''Don't Let the Music Die'' (1975), with some copies being credited to a group Space on the record label although the Tremeloes' pictures were on the sleeve (this album was also credited to The Tremeloes on the cover and featured Dave Munden, with Bob Benham, Paul Carman, and Paul Issac making up the group), and ''All for One and One for All'' (1992).
==After the hits==
Their music is still available on CD, and they quite often play concerts and are part of the pop-revival shows that constantly tour the UK. Their line-up changed several times from 1972 onwards, the first new entrants being Bob Benham and a year later Aaron Woolley (replacing Blakley and Hawkes, both of whom would later return to the band), effectively a merger with a Tremeloes-managed group called [[Jumbo (British band)|Jumbo]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} Munden remained the only constant member. Hawkes pursued a solo career for a while producing two albums for [[RCA Records]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. In 1979 he returned to England and rejoined the Tremeloes where he remained until 1988. Chip left the Tremeloes to focus on managing his son, [[Chesney Hawkes|Chesney]], who had a number one [[chart hit|hit]] [[Gramophone record|record]] entitled "The One and Only". By 1992 Hawkes was touring once again as a solo artist. Blakley produced records for other [[musician|acts]], including the [[Rubettes]], Bilbo Baggins and [[Mungo Jerry]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} In 1983 the original quartet reformed and made the lower reaches of the UK Top 100 with their [[cover version]] of the [[Europop]] hit "[[Words (F. R. David song)|Words]]", losing out to a reactivation of the original by [[F. R. David]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}
As a soloist, Poole failed to chart with subsequent records, but pursued a successful cabaret career. His daughters, Karen and Shelly, hit the charts in 1996 as [[Alisha's Attic]]. Blakley died from cancer in June 1996, leaving Munden and West to continue in concert with newer recruits Dave Fryer (bass) and Joe Gillingham (keyboards). Jeff Brown, former bass player and lead vocals for The Sweet, replaced Fryer in 2005. Dave Fryer retired to live in Germany after leaving the band, and continues to write music and play occasionally.
Brian Poole, Chip Hawkes and the Tremeloes toured the UK as part of their 40th anniversary reunion in September 2006.
The Tremeloes are still together today: West and Munden perform their old material in concert throughout Europe with musicians from other 1960s and 1970s bands. Hawkes is also still an active performer and leads his own band Class of '64. Brian Poole still tours with his band the Electrix. Rick Westwood retired from the Tremeloes at the end of 2012.
==The Class of '64==
{{Unreferenced|section|date=March 2019}}
In April 2004, at the request of [[the Animals]], who were about to do their 40th anniversary tour, Hawkes was asked to form a band to tour with the Animals. This he did, bringing together a [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] including [[Mick Avory]] (ex-[[the Kinks]]), [[Eric Haydock]] (ex-[[the Hollies]]), who teamed up to perform as the Class of '64, also featuring guitarists, Telecaster Ted Tomlin and Graham Pollock. The band toured around the world and recorded an album of past band hits and a new single called "She's Not My Child".
