HAPPENING
Elkie Brooks decides to quit Vinegar Joe for a solo career. The group subsequently splits up, with Robert Palmer considering a solo career in America.
After an association lasting seven years, Marc Bolan splits with record producer Tony Visconti, who cites those good old 'musical differences', which Bolan himself confirms.
Brian Eno suffers a collapsed lung, which forces the cancellation of his partially completed debut British tour.
Greenslade singer/ keyboardist Dave Lawson also goes down with a collapsed lung, forcing the cancellation of the group's tour of Italy & Germany.
Alvin Lee is rumoured to be leaving Ten Years After following the announcement of a London solo concert. Alvin's backing band is a minor 'supergroup' of British Rock muso's, with Alan Spenner and Neil Hubbard (ex-Grease Band), Mel Collins and Ian Wallace (ex-King Crimson) and Tim Hinckley (ex-Vinegar Joe).
Another musician rumoured to be quitting his band is Steve Marriott, but although admitting there had been a "degree of discontent within the band", Humble Pie's management insist Marriott will stay and indeed the group begin yet another US tour.
Paul and Barry Ryan go back on the road together after a break of five years.
Guitarist Bert Jansch announces that he is quitting the music business. He changes his mind later, of course.
Rod Clements quits Lindisfarne off-shoot band Jack The Lad.
The Moody Blues return to the UK following a five month long tour of the world. They do not record together again for four years.
Following a one-off charity gig in February, Blodwyn Pig decide to re-form on a 'permanent basis'.
Sandy Denny re-joins Fairport Convention over 4 years after leaving the group.
Skin Alley split at the end of the month, with this rather sad statement coming from their manager: "They came to realise that they were somewhat alone in their confidence in what they were doing. The boys have accepted that it isn't going to happen for them."
