The band in 1971
Hookfoot was a British rock band, active from 1969 to 1974. The band was formed by Caleb Quaye (guitars, piano and vocals) and three fellow DJM Records session musicians, Ian Duck (vocals, guitars and harmonica/ born 1944 in Gosport, Hampshire[1]), Roger Pope (drums/ born 20 March 1947 in Whitstable, Kent, died 18 September 2013 in Southampton[2][3]) and David Glover (bass).
The band were also backing musicians for Elton John, appearing together on most of his early recordings for DJM.[4] Fred Gandy (bass - formerly of Bluesology) replaced David Glover,[4] who left after the release of the second album.[5] Other, occasional members of the band were Bob Kulick (guitar, vocals), Mick Grabham (bass) and Peter Ross (harmonica, vocals).
